As Australia expands its ambitions in nuclear technologies, Associate Professor Elizabeth Williams says the country is grappling with a question that doesn’t have a simple answer.

Emeritus Professor Malcolm Sambridge has a knack for solving the unsolvable. His pioneering work developing mathematical models to solve earth science problems has seen him elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Professor Lan Fu is using nanotechnology to develop a medical device to detect signs of diabetes.

Three Australian National University (ANU) scientists have been recognised for their extraordinary work by being elected Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science.

Scientists have discovered the rare radioactive isotope, iron-60, which is formed in the interiors of massive stars and ejected into space when they explode, in Antarctic ice.

A new nanoscopy technique developed at ANU has uncovered hidden networks used for communication between cells, opening new ways to understand human diseases.

An international team has shown that gravitational waves, ripples in space and time produced by some of the most violent events in the Universe, such as the collision of two black holes, can be used to measure and correct the calibration of the detectors that observe them.

An Australian Laureate Fellowship is helping Professor Hrvoje Tkalčić explore the hidden interiors of Earth, the Moon and Mars, to reveal new insights into how planets evolve and what it takes to sustain life.

The team of ANU Physicists has developed an innovative way to take static devices and make them dynamically tunable with light, an important capability for developing flexible and powerful light-based technology - photonics.
