The North-West University (NWU) has pioneered the novel use of Europium-Tellurium-Oxide (ETO) in the production of clean energy. ETO is a light-chargeable catalyst material that exhibits sustained and enhanced activity after light excitation has ended. Its unique characteristics present an

The invention relates to a novel process of partial oxidation of un-agglomerated chromite ore in ferrochrome production processes. The process includes the steps: Providing a source of un-agglomerated chromite ore; subjecting the source of un-agglomerated chromite ore to pre-oxidation at a

Industrial electrowinning is one such example where archaic technology has become the norm, with innovation being limited simply because the process is “good enough”. After doing a fundamental analysis on the electrowinning process, the design team has invented a dynamic solution which improves on

FemtoFab™ introduces an automated femtosecond laser-based process for the fabrication of micro and nano-constriction structures on high temperature superconducting (HTS) thin films such as YBa₂Cu₃O₇-ₓ. The technique enables the precise and reproducible formation of superconducting nano- and micro

BioReRAM™ is a novel non-volatile Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM) technology that utilises a bio-based switching/active layer made from milk or a milk-based emulsion. The resistive switching layer, located between two electrodes, contains lactose, fat, protein, and water - components

DilivariApp™ is an innovative grocery delivery application that connects online shoppers with a network of everyday road users to facilitate efficient, low-cost grocery delivery. Unlike conventional delivery platforms that depend on dedicated fleets, DilivariApp™ leverages the shared mobility model

The invention relates to an optimised silicon avalanche light-emitting diode (LED) that emits light at a wavelength of approximately 650 nm (red light). The device is based on a silicon PN junction structure designed with strategically doped regions and engineered impurity concentrations to enhance

1. Executive Summary Oreconnect Projects is an SMME based in Postmasburg, Northern Cape, specializing in the deployment of Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We bridge the gap between fixed energy infrastructure and the immediate, high-capacity power needs of the mining, industrial, and
