Innovations

The technology relates to an application that allows the efficient delivery of groceries ordered online by using a car lift service from general road drivers. Unlike existing delivery applications, this platform does increase the reliance on dedicated delivery vehicles but makes use of a network of

The technology relates to a new generation of telecommunications and data processing technology with improved wavelength sensitivity in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths range rather than microwave communication in 2–4 GHz. The technology provides the realisation of optical sources (LEDs)

A mobile application to facilitate the efficient delivery of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) which are dependent on a multi-embedded supply chain coordination for the distribution of malaria drugs. The distribution of these is hampered by a lack of coordination among stakeholders

An engineer at Nelson Mandela University has developed a secure storage trolley for tablet computers. The storage also has a charging component which allows for them to be charged while safely stored.

PhenoLAB is an online web-based analyses platform and database for wine producers. PhenoLAB incorporates highly accurate, extensive and robust analyses methods based on absorbency values for determining tannins, colour density, anthocyanins and total phenolics levels in grapes, fermenting must and

In its current state, the software produces the key technical feasibility metrics and graphs, which help the user answer the questions of requirements and viability for a fleet. Although the software is free and open-source, it is a terminal/command-line application which requires technical IT

The DarkLight™ Catalyst is an advanced, biosynthesised titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalyst that functions efficiently without the need for visible or ultraviolet light. Developed through a green synthesis process using natural extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa, the material features an oxygen

The Stellenbosch Endometriosis Quality of Life measure is a questionnaire that has 25 questions and covers 8 different dimensions. Comprehensive Assessment: The 8 critical dimensions assessed by SEQOL, include psychological well-being, vitality, and sexual and reproductive functioning. Patient

The PureLite Reactor™ provides a highly efficient and customisable platform for various applications. Its energy-efficient LED light sources, advanced control systems, and versatile design give researchers precise control over photochemical reactions, making it a vital tool in environmental science

MagNanoClean™ is an innovative method and apparatus for fluid treatment that leverages charged nanoparticles and a moving magnetic system to remove impurities efficiently and sustainably. In this process, contaminants are trapped by the charged nanoparticles suspended in a reactor. When activated

The technology is a membrane-based system developed from waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) using electrospinning to create a nanofibrous material with superhydrophobic (water-repelling) and superoleophilic (oil-attracting) properties. It enables crude oil adsorption, recovery, and membrane

AquaCarbon™ introduces a high-performance membrane technology designed for membrane distillation desalination. The innovation integrates multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to create a robust, highly hydrophobic, and porous structure capable of
