Sporting top 10

Deakin University has made the world’s top 10 in sports-related subjects according to the 2020 QS World University Rankings by Subject released on Wednesday.

The university had risen from 30th place in 2018 to 15th in 2019, and, now, ninth in 2020 in the rankings.

The result was the first time Deakin had made the top ten for the category, a university spokesperson confirmed.

Anglesea crash

A car rolled on the Great Ocean Road at Anglesea shortly before 8am today causing delays on the iconic route.

Paramedics assessed a man in his 30s and took him to Geelong hospital in a stable condition.

Electrifying breakthrough

Waurn Ponds based scientists have created a first-of-its-kind lithium metal battery prototype using specially-designed electrolytes, according to Deakin University.

The breakthrough, 10 years in the making, could lead to alternatives to the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in portable electronics and electric vehicles, researchers said.
