Three exceptional scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) have been recognised for their world-leading work with our forests, marine megafauna and critical metals.

Scientists examined computer simulations of Earth’s climate over the past 1,150 years. They found that given enough time, natural variability in Australian rainfall can produce “mega-droughts” lasting 20 years or more.

A new study which surveyed nearby stars, found as many as one in dozen pairs of stars may have devoured a planet, likely because the planet developed a “wobble” in its orbit and fell into the star.

Physicists have devised an ultra-thin dynamic amplifier for electromagnetic radiation using a parametric metasurface.

How did Australia’s environment fare against this onslaught of global climate records? In short, 2023 was a year of opposites.

If you see a bird but don’t record it in an app, did it even happen?
