The key to conserving some of the world's most endangered marine species is better mapping their ocean migrations and cross-border cooperation, University of Queensland researchers say.

Powder-like particles designed by UQ nanomaterials experts can turn water-based paint into self-repairing corrosion shields with the potential to slow rusting by more than 600 times compared with existing high-performance coatings. 

From renewable energy to advanced nanotechnology, many of tomorrow's breakthroughs may rely on materials that are to be discovered or created.

Wearable health devices that never need charging are a step closer thanks to next-generation photovoltaic technology that harvests energy from indoor light, as well as the sun.
