Repurposing Old Tyres to Strengthen NT Roads: A CDU Breakthrough
Innovating Under Heat: The CDU Road Research Initiative The Northern Territory’s harsh climate—intense heat, heavy rainfall, and sandy soils—puts road longevity under constant strain. Charles Darwin University researchers are exploring whether repurposed old tyres can be engineered into a road construction material that stands up to these conditions better than traditional mixes. The project, driven…

Artificial Intelligence Boosts Sustainable Recycling Of Livestock Waste
Turning Waste Into Resources With Artificial Intelligence A recent study published in Biochar demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the hydrothermal treatment of livestock manure. The approach predicts how nutrients, especially phosphorus, distribute between the solid hydrochar and the nutrient-rich liquid, enabling safer, more valuable end products while reducing environmental pollution. By integrating machine…
