Thanks to Professor Tim Boyle, Director Innovation and Commercialisation at ANSTO (Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation), an interactive IdeaSpies kiosk has been set up at their nandin Innovation Centre. This will allow students to collaborate on innovation by easily searching ideas, explained simply, related to their ideas. Ideas build on ideas.A sign below the display says:Anyone can have a great idea and change the world regardless of profession, social hierarchy, gender or race....step out of the box you currently live in. Outside the box anything is possible.

Problem solving and its close cousin innovation need a mix of skills and backgrounds within teams to really fire. While policy attention is often on the technical or STEM skills shortage solid research supports the inclusion of HASS -  humanities, arts, and social sciences to get better outcomes in creating commercial, economic, and social value. These capabilities complement in very important ways the other (technical) elements of the skills mix.Article by Dr John Howard:https://www.innovationaus.com/technical-skills-are-not-enough-for-sustained-innovation/

Airbus has three hydrogen-powered concepts for 'zero emission' commercial aircraft on the drawing board, two of which are likely to be flying by 2035. The European airplane maker has previously said hydrogen “holds exceptional promise as a clean aviation fuel and is likely to be a solution for aerospace and many other industries to meet their climate-neutral targets.” The ZEROe turboprop is capable of carrying up to 100 passengers around 1,000nm, making it best suited to short-range trips. The ZEROe ‘turbofan’ boosts passenger capacity to the 120-200 bracket while extending range to in excess of 2,000nm: sufficient for a transcontinental jaunt between Australia's east and west coasts. https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/airbus-zero-emission-hydrogen-aircraft-con

Small scale wind isn't very popular for residential applications. But a new turbine which mimics the natural spiral design of a nautilus shell might soon provide an alternative to solar. It claims to be quieter but also very efficient, such that one turbine can produce 1,500kwh/annum. In Sydney, an average household (2.4 persons) consumes about 5,200kwh/annum.https://newatlas.com/the-archimedes-liam-f1-urban-wind-turbine/32263/

Unsilenced Voices takes an innovative approach to its humanitarian work, using blockchain technology in programs and fundraising. Founded in 2017, the US-based not-for-profit empowers survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in multiple countries using financial assistance and community education. To do this, they’ve sought new approaches to both raise money for their programs and pay directly to abuse survivors. Founder Michelle Jewsbury says they are “revolutionising the humanitarian sector by integrating Web 3.0 technologies directly into our operations. For example, we accept cryptocurrency donations and have hosted NFT art competitions, enabling abuse survivors to earn income.” http://www.unsilencedvoices.org
