This week, we looked at the swirling chaos around supermassive black holes, anthropogenic climate effects over the Atlantic ocean and the threats to koala bears.
Magnetic skyrmions have received much attention as promising, topologically protected quasiparticles with applications in spintronics. Skyrmions are small, swirling topological magnetic excitations with particle-like properties. Nevertheless, the lower stabil…
In the vast expanse of our solar system, each planet bears a name steeped in the rich mythology of Greco-Roman gods and goddesses. However, there is one
Contrary to earlier understandings based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, new research has now found that the pace of growth of large cosmic structures is slower than expected.
Scientists have always battled with the thought, "Are we actually alone?" From bizarre alien theories to mole people who apparently have been living under the surface of the Earth for centuries, every science enthusiast has played with some sort of theory. Ho…
Ecologists have shown that the genetic material that species shed into their environments can reveal not only the presence of the species but also a broad range of information about the genetics of whole populations. This information can assist researchers in…
Chandrayaan3 Awesome way ISRO packed Vikram Lander Pragyan Rover propulsion module for Moon trip Indias historic Chandrayaan3 mission is currently on but its individual parts are resting on the lunar surface. WhileChandrayaan3 propulsion module is orbiting th…
Five early career researchers from the University of Sydney have been honoured as recipients of the 2023 NSW Young Tall Poppy Awards, recognising their contributions to the future of STEM. Among the recipients is Dr Rose Cairns, who was named the NSW
NASA and SpaceX are collaborating on the Starship Human Landing System for lunar missions. After successful engine tests under extreme conditions, the next step is an integrated flight test of Starship and Super Heavy. NASA is working with SpaceX to develop i…
New images of a dying star at the centre of a well-known planetary nebula 2,600 light years from Earth have revealed structures that no previous telescope could detect, according to an international team of scientists, who released the images on Thur
River barriers made up of natural materials like trees, branches, logs and leaves can reduce flooding in at-risk communities by storing water upstream, new research has found.The study, led by scientists from Cardiff University and the University of
Researchers at Tokyo Tech have demonstrated that in-cell engineering is an effective method for creating functional protein crystals with promising catalytic properties. By harnessing genetically altered bacteria as a green synthesis platform, the researchers…
A spacecraft left behind by U.S. astronauts on the lunar surface could be causing small tremors known as moonquakes, according to a new study. CNN reports: Researchers revealed the previously unknown form of seismic activity on the moon for the first time th…
According to a number of people across the region, if you were looking upward at the night sky Tuesday and Wednesday evening, you may have caught a glimpse of something pretty interesting... something that may have looked unlike anything you've ever seen cros…
