Travel can do amazing things: broaden horizons, build relationships, and rejuvenate the soul. But often, those experiences come at a cost. This is Peak Travel, a new podcast from WHYY about how travel shapes communities in hot-spots around the world. We’ll share the wonder that comes with exploring new places, as well as the harm that our worst travel habits can cause. And we’ll try to figure out how we can do it better. Each episode transports you to a new destination. You’ll meet the people who call that place home, hear their stories, and come to understand how tourism has changed their everyday lives. Supported by rich, on-location sound from around the world, Peak Travel unpacks the $1.9 trillion travel industry and its impact on people and the planet.

Australia's 60,000 abandoned mines range from poisoned goldrush-era mine shafts to huge, open-cut wounds on the natural landscape. Many pose grave threats to the health of our community and environment. In developing countries like India, these danger is even worse But what if we could turn these mine sites back into thriving ecosystems, and deal with a major waste problem at the same time? Biosolids are the organic matter left over after sewage has been treated. Distinguished Professor Andy Ball, his team at RMIT and collaborators in India are turning this unapealing into a special kind of charcoal that could revolutionise mine restoration. And in another incredible innovation, they’re using native plant species to remove toxic contaminants from the environment. TechNOW is a podcast about Australian innovations that are shaping the future, thanks to the Global Connections fund – a project run by the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering and supported by the Australian Government.

TechNOW podcast: Breathable treatment for drug-resistant TB 22:03

לפני 3 years22:03

22:03

COVID isn’t the only pandemic threat we face. The infectious disease that killed the most people in 2018 wasn’t malaria or HIV: it was tuberculosis. Because of antibiotic resistance, a growing number of TB infections can’t be cured by current methods. Rising fever, chest-pain, coughing up blood – without new treatments, this ancient sickness could become a future crisis. But what if we could treat antibiotic resistant TB with a new drug delivered straight into the lungs by an asthma-puffer style device? Thanks to new technology developed by Associate Professor Charlotte Conn, her team at RMIT, and their collaborators in India, this dream cure could become a reality.

TechNOW: An on-the-spot test to stop overdose deaths 10:54

10:54

The number of Australians who die from unintentional drug overdose continues to rise every year. Treatment can be complicated because it’s not always known what substance has been taken. And there are new synthetic drugs hitting the streets all the time. Imagine the benefit of a test that could quickly and accurately identify which drug is present. That's the life-saving tech Professor Shanlin Fu from the University of Technology is making a reality.

TechNOW: The power flow tech revolutionising solar 18:39

Australia is one of the sunniest continents in the world, so it’s no surprise Australians have embraced solar energy to cut their power bills and slow down climate change. One in-five-homes now have rooftop solar panels. But all that extra energy being fed into the grid can be tricky to manage. Our infrastructure wasn’t built for electricity to move in two directions. It’s not impossible for electricity to flow backwards, but it must be managed or transformers can become saturated. Dr Elizabeth Ratnam and Associate Professor Lachlan Blackhall have come up with a revolutionary new way of better monitoring power flow through electricity grids.

Once the stuff of science fiction, Carbon Dioxide lasers are now crucial to soft-tissue surgery and next gen manufacturing. But a laser is only as good as the glass fibre that carries it. Professor Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem is deputy director at the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing at the University of Adelaide. Professor Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem from the University of Adelaide is developing a revolutionary new type of glass fibre to make the laser beams more efficient.

TechNOW: Clever soles helping diabetics make safe strides 13:56

High blood sugar can injure nerves and blood vessels throughout the body. And the first nerves to be affected tend to be the smallest ones, furthest away from the spinal cord – those that stretch to the toes and feet. That nerve damage is called diabetic neuropathy and it can cause a tingling in the toes or a constant burning feeling in the feet. It can be sneaky too and completely rob the feet of their ability to sense pain. But Dr Anna Hatton has come up with a way of making shoes high tech to help a diabetic better negotiate the road ahead.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia. It claims 21 lives every day. Those who do survive heart attacks can take months to recover. That’s where Associate Professor Nicole Freene comes in. She's developed an app-based exercise program designed to improve the health of older people at risk of a repeat heart attack. TechNOW is a podcast about Australian innovations that are shaping the future, thanks to the Global Connections Fund: a project run by the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering and supported by the Australian Government.

ATSE CEO Kylie Walker on ABC Radio National discussing 'Towards a waste free future' 4:53

לפני 4 years4:53

4:53

On RN Breakfast with Hamish Macdonald Australia faces a critical challenge in the future management of our waste. New forms of waste are set to increase, including e-waste, solar PV panels, and batteries. Advanced technologies and engineering solutions have the potential to divert valuable resources from landfill. Recycling, reuse, remanufacturing and refurbishment of products can create a closed system, minimising waste. Economic benefits of a waste management industry include job creation (for every 10,000 tonnes of waste recycled, 9.2 jobs are created) and it has been estimated a recycling plant could bring up to $166 million in net gain to Victoria alone over the coming decade. This project delivers an objective, evidence-based, expert assessment of Australia’s readiness to develop a leading-edge waste and resource recovery sector based on innovation and technology by 2030, along with targeted policy and research recommendations to support this transformation. The investigation is part of a major three-year research project examining the technology readiness of Australian industry sectors. ATSE’s project is providing insights into Australia’s ability to capitalise on opportunities emerging in the digital economy. Future industries will rely on technology like artificial intelligence, robotics, augmented reality, automation, big data analytics and user interfaces, and we are asking the question: Are we ready?…
