Gilmour Space and USQ are no stranger to collaboration in space, having engaged with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), among others, on separate projects over the years. However, it is notable that this local partnership will result in innovative space research and development activities in Queensland. USQ and Gilmour Space, along with other national and international partners, are developing STEM related activities to encourage and train the next generation of space scientists and engineers. https://www.amgc.org.au/news/joining-forces-to-reach-for-the-stars/

Great to see collaboration between partners in Australia aimed at advancing space research. The Space Industry offers a model for the future of Australian manufacturing.

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
