Key Trends for Sustainable Energy Security in Australia Digvijay Singh, D. Buddhi, Shane Sheoran G20 and Energy Security Roadmap for Sustainable Development, 2026 Australia’s energy landscape has undergone a profound transformation, transitioning from coal dependence to a diverse, eco-conscious sector. Fueled by environmental awareness and global commitments, Australia achieved a remarkable milestone in 2023, with renewable sources accounting for 38% of its electricity generation. This shift was propelled by innovative policies, grassroots movements, and international collaborations. This chapter delves into Australia’s journey, spotlighting key moments such as international agreements and domestic innovations that reduced coal reliance and empowered communities. Solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass energies flourished, fostering economic growth and resilience. Overcoming policy challenges and grid modernization hurdles, Australia emerged as a global leader in renewables. Crucially, public awareness campaigns and community-led initiatives played a pivotal role, emphasizing the power of grassroots efforts. International partnerships with Germany, India, Japan, and others accelerated technological advancements, promoting economic growth and emission reduction. The success story of Australia serves a global example of how sustainable energy transitions can have a revolutionary effect. Australia is leading the way in moving toward a more environmentally friendly future, and other countries aiming to create an energy landscape that is equal, diverse, and sustainable should learn from its experiences.
Experimental Investigation of Triplex-Tube Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System Incorporating a Helical Coil for Thermal Performance Enhancement Ashutosh Verma, Rajeev Kukreja, Tangellapalli Srinivas, Dharam Buddhi Energy Technology, 2026 Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are essential for efficient thermal energy storage. However, these devices are often constrained by long charging and short discharging periods. This study presents a novel triplex‐tube LHTES design incorporating a copper helical coil positioned between two concentric stainless‐steel shells. Stearic acid was used as the phase change material and water as the HTF, with two separate flow paths provided for charging and discharging. During charging, HTF is circulated through the outer shell at a higher mass flow rate to increase energy input and accelerate the charging process. During discharging, HTF flows through the inner helical copper coil at a reduced mass flow rate, increasing its residence time by 97.54%. This enhances the uniformity index and extends the discharge duration by 26.8% compared to a conventional concentric triplex‐tube design. Additionally, the discharge efficiency increases to 87.5% due to a 31.4% rise in heat‐transfer area and higher thermal conductivity of copper compared to stainless steel.
A role of biomaterials in tissue engineering and drug encapsulation Reeya Agrawal, Sangeeta Singh, Kuldeep K. Saxena, Dharam Buddhi Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part E Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, 2025 The paper provides an introduction to biomaterials covered and their available types, such as metal, ceramic, polymer, and composites. Biomaterials are structures, devices, or materials that may repair or implant tissue. Biomaterials are biocompatible that have high mechanical strength, and need a long time to break down. A biomaterial is any natural or synthetic material that regularly touches the human body or is utilized to replace or restore biological tissue—metallic systems in the body and numerous ceramic and polymeric implant materials and systems. Polymers as biomaterials have had a significant impact on medical technology development. Furthermore, features of biomaterials such as mechanical, physical, and chemical qualities have been detailed to assist users in selecting the best biomaterial for their needs based on these properties. While these materials do not replace human tissues’ function, they have good physical and mechanical qualities that allow them to be used as body tissue substitutes. Apart from this, biomaterials are applied in various fields, including medicine and pharmacy. Biodegradable polymeric biomaterials, in particular, offer the advantage of being able to be broken down and removed once their purpose is completed. The most common biomaterials are used in tissue engineering, medicine delivery systems, orthopedic, orthodontic, wound healing, and cardiovascular applications. The conclusion summarizes that biomaterials are the most advantageous in medical science. Biomaterial and cellular biology researchers have been working to make biomanufacturing technologies more broadly available for a long time. The main area of focus is medicine, where technology is critical in studying and preventing uncommon diseases.

Additive manufacturing allows the development of complex structures with biomimicry attributes in reduced lead time. This article comprises a general overview of the implementation of various additive manufacturing technologies in biomedical applications. In addition, the research area under examination has also been described using bibliometric analysis, which includes the number of publications each year and in terms of regional distribution, top-cited documents, citation mapping of journals and researchers, co-occurrence mapping, keyword analysis, country-wise publications, cluster assessment, content analysis, etc. Moreover, future study directions are highlighted with an objective to recuperate the curiosity of the global research community to mature this technique further.
Optimal development for a 3D-printed gripper for biomedical and micromanipulation applications by non-parametric regression-based metaheuristic technique Ngoc Thoai Tran, Minh Phung Dang, Ngoc Le Chau, Subramaniam Shankar, Dharam Buddhi, Thanh-Phong Dao Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part E Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, 2025 With the advancement of bioengineering and robotic engineering, medical robots have been increasing concern about manipulating the microobject or cells. Although the rigid robots have a stable operation, they inherit many limitations such as the complex assembly process of joints-coupled rigid links and expensive costs. Especially, clearances between kinematic joints cause vibrations that damage microobject. To cope with such problems, a flexure-based polylactic acid (PLA) gripper is developed to realize precise motion in medical robots. The proposed gripper is 3D printed by fused deposition modeling technique with advantages of monolithic structure, jointless and cheap cost. Prior to the gripper fabrication, the optimization development of the gripper is conducted employing a combination of the non-parametric regression (NPR) and multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). Numerical data samples are collected by the finite element method. The modeling results were well formulated utilizing the NPR method with the R 2 value greater than 0.9. The Pareto-optimum design results identified that the gripper can provide a high displacement of 2 mm and a small stress of 41 MPa via MOGA. Additionally, the proposed flexure-based compliant PLA gripper can work with a safety factor higher than 1.6. The experiment tests on the prototype of the gripper are close to the estimated values.
