ANU is home to one of the world’s most innovative nuclear science facilities and programs. This work is helping protect environmental treasures like the world’s largest coral reef, understand the origins of life on our planet and launch tech into space.

From exploring the mysteries of dark matter, to planting the seeds of human life away from Earth, Lachlan McKie is using nuclear science to solve some of our most complex questions.

How do we find enough people with the skills necessary to grow the space technology sector?

Until recently we had very little idea when butterflies evolved, and hypotheses concerning their place of origin were largely educated guesses.

Growing up queer in Townsville, Emily Standen knows about the importance of role models: "I don't think that I really thought queer people could be scientists. So from my own experience, I know that it's hard to be what you can't see. You can definitely do it - someone has to be the first - but it's not an easy thing to do.”

We have successfully used a new technique – involving light from an exploding star that arrived at Earth via multiple winding routes through the expanding Universe – to measure how fast the Universe is expanding.

A new study from ANU researchers offers clues about which birds are most likely to survive. their risky first migration.

Meet the nuclear physicist exploring dark energy through art. As an artist, Raghda Abdel Khaleq is working on a dark energy-inspired series, where she uses red gradients to explore how the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate.

A surprise observation of negative mass in exciton-polaritons has added yet another dimension of weirdness to these strange light-matter hybrid particles.
