World’s first birth following conception with a fully automated remotely operated ICSI system

Reproductive BioMedicine Online
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The world’s first baby has been born following conception with a fully automated, digitally controlled intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) system. ICSI, developed and adopted into widespread use in the 1990s and now a routine method of assisted conception, achieves fertilisation by injecting a single sperm cell into the centre of a mature egg.

Aussie tech helps make bio-oils for greener industrial applications

RMIT University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Australian technology developed at RMIT University could enable more sustainable and cheaper production of bio-oils to replace petroleum-based products in electronic, construction and automotive applications.

The technology, known as PYROCO^TM, uses high temperatures without oxygen to convert treated sewage (biosolids) into a carbon-rich product called biochar, which can act as a catalyst to produce phenol-rich bio-oil.
