They move in groups, feed in groups, and react to danger as a group,” said lead author Dr Angus Mitchell, from Adelaide University.

Researchers at Adelaide University have discovered a promising new strategy which could deliver fast battery charging. The team, led by Professor Shi-Zhang Qiao, an ARC Industry Laureate Fellow in the University’s School of Chemical Engineering, created pouch battery cells using interfacial anion-reduction catalysis to record a charge of more than 85 per cent after six minutes.

Following the weekend’s storms in Adelaide, some of our facilities have been affected by flooding and some of our technology systems affected by associated power outages. Unfortunately, some staff have experienced problems connecting to the university network.
