Scientists from UNSW Sydney and the University of Cambridge have used novel methods to detect ‘crackling noise, the acoustic representation of atoms' movements in response to pressure, offering potential insights for pioneering studies in materials science and medicine.

Monash University engineering students have made history by shattering the Australian single-track speed record for a human-powered vehicle (HPV), achieving speeds of 116 kilometres per hour (km/h) on a flat desert track during the World Human Powered Speed Challenge held in Nevada, United States.

Researchers at the Centenary Institute have identified a potential breakthrough in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most prevalent form of liver cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.

Researchers at the University of Queensland (UQ) have identified a novel drug target that could potentially overcome drug resistance in cancer patients, thereby preventing tumour regrowth. 

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have introduced Style2Fab, a generative AI tool that allows users to easily add custom design elements to 3D models without affecting their functionality.

Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment Cameron Dick has welcomed the extension of a significant research collaboration between the University of Queensland and the University of Tokyo on the opening day of his trade mission to Japan and Europe. 

The human brain is naturally equipped to perform intricate calculations, akin to high-powered computers, through a process known as Bayesian inference, according to a study published in the journal Nature Communications.

RMIT University researchers have invented a nano-thin superbug-killing substance that could be used in wound dressings and implants to prevent or repair bacterial infections.

Researchers are one step closer towards converting plant material into biofuels with a newly discovered method of optimising plant enzymes through bioengineering. 

A recent analysis from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, has estimated that an emerging capacity that employs 'non-animal models' to evaluate novel medical goods could produce over $1.5 billion in revenue and create over 5,000 employment by 2040.
