  • Engineers are developing a solar panel implant for the retina to restore vision, still in proof-of-concept stage.

    Engineers from the University of New South Wales in Australia are working on a prototype solar panel implant for the retinas to restore sight. The implant converts light into electrical signals that can be directed to the optic nerve, enabling vision. Users may need to wear special glasses or goggles that amplify sunlight for the device to work. The device is still in a proof-of-concept stage - a lot more work still needs to be done before it is ready for human implantation.

  • Genetically engineered flies by Australian scientists to boost waste decomposition and produce valuable products.

    Australian scientists have genetically engineered black soldier flies to eat organic waste and produce ingredients for making everything from lubricants to biofuels to high-grade animal feeds. The fly larvae can eat double their body weight a day, consuming waste faster than microbes. They are harvested once they turn into pupae. The scientists have created a company to commercialize their work - they hope to have their first genetically engineered flies for use in waste facilities by the end of the year.

  • Canva acquires Leonardo.ai to enhance its visual AI tools.

    Canva has acquired Leonardo.ai, an Australian startup that specializes in generative AI content and research, to enhance its suite of visual AI tools. Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed. The acquisition will integrate Leonardo.ai's technology rapidly into Canva's Magic Studio products while maintaining Leonardo.ai as a separate entity. This move positions Canva to better compete against Adobe, particularly its Firefly generative AI models.

  • Australia launches world-first peanut allergy treatment program for babies to build immunity.

    Eligible babies with peanut allergies in Australia will be offered treatment to build immunity under a world-first program. The babies will be given gradually larger doses of peanut powder each day for at least two years to reduce sensitivity. The program will be extended to more hospitals and potentially other food allergies if it is found to be effective and safe. Families are advised not to try oral immunotherapy at home unsupervised.
