Sound waves create a mist that can act like a ‘plant sunscreen’! 🔊🌿 Researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces (like plant leaves) using high-frequency sound waves and created a fine mist that can act like a plant sunscreen!
 
Conventional coating techniques often require high temperatures or harsh chemicals making them unsuitable for delicate surfaces such as living tissue, soft plastics or emerging electronic materials. Using soundwaves, researchers were able to form and deposit a UV-blocking layer coating within minutes without heating or damaging the surface. 🎉

Katherine Bennell-Pegg (@aussieastrokatherine) is not only Australia’s first female astronaut, she’s the first person to train as an astronaut under the Australian flag AND the Australian of the year. 🇦🇺 🚀

We had the pleasure of hosting her on campus last week and the opportunity to pick her brain on her career journey, thoughts on collaboration, and ask her for some career advice.

Cemeteries are public spaces, so how can we make the ones we rarely visit more inviting?

That’s the question central to PhD graduate Isabel Lasala’s research, which explores the transformation of forgotten places into meaningful environments that respectfully engage with death, memory and urban evolution.

Isabel will graduate at our 2026 Doctoral Degrees Graduation Ceremony in Melbourne this Wednesday.

Do you think gym culture and everything that comes with it is a good or bad thing?

The Line visited RMIT University to chat about the gym, the culture around it, and how it influences us during the launch of the new edition of RMIT's The Adventures of Soy Boy comic.

The comic is co-created with students and explores how algorithm-driven content and influencer culture can impact and shape how we feel and how we interact with each other.

You can read the second edition of The Adventures of Soy Boy at RMIT's website.

Everyone hates job interviews, they’re nerve wracking and in the current job market, the pressure truly is on. 😮‍💨 Enter Virvi! A winner of Apple’s Swift Student Challenge, this app developed by computer science student Ethan Zhang to act as a companion through the job search process, supporting users with interview preparation and application management. 
 
When Ethan and his friends started navigating the job market, he realised how crucial speaking confidently is for interviews. He wanted a judgment free space to practice his speaking skills. So, he developed Virvi as a job search companion to address that need.
 
Ethan, who is studying a Bachelor of Computer Science (Professional), developed the app as part of an assignment for his course. 

A huge congratulations to Ethan for this amazing achievement! 🎉

Did you know that tree bark could clean up our waterways? 💧🌳

New research from RMIT has found that Eucalyptus bark can be re-used to help clean up our polluted water and air. 

This bark (which is typically treated as waste) can now be transformed into a highly porous form of carbon that effectively traps pollutants as they pass through water and air systems.
 
This form of carbon is already widely used in filter production and this process could save us significant time and money in the future by making use of more widely available material.🌿

Ever give yourself the ick thinking about how many germs exist on your phone?  🤢 RMIT researchers are working on a future where you don’t have to worry about that. 

Researchers have developed a thin plastic film that tears apart viruses on contact, offering a promising new way to keep high touch surfaces such as smartphones and hospital equipment from spreading disease!

The plastic surface is textured with ultra-fine structures (nanopillars) that grab and stretch the outer shell of the virus so that it ruptures, killing the virus through mechanical force. 

Unlike earlier studies on antiviral coatings, this research shows stretching rather than skewering viruses leads to a more effective kill.
