Physicists have found a highly efficient way to transfer angular momentum from a light beam to a tiny cylindrical object, causing it to spin in a way that could be used as a motor, such as pump in a microfluidic circuit.
Australia’s access to space services depends almost entirely on satellites owned and run by foreign governments and companies. In an increasingly uncertain world, having our own sovereign space technology is becoming even more important for security.
A new training centre housed at The Australian National University will equip the next generation of scientists to tackle some of the world’s biggest biosecurity challenges.
A new, easy-to-use method to modify and label proteins quickly, precisely and at low cost has been developed by chemists at The Australian National University.
Evidence is mounting that a secret lies beneath the dusty red plains of Mars, one that could redefine our view of the Red Planet: a vast reservoir of liquid water, locked deep in the crust.
The detection of energy signals from strong winter storms in the North Atlantic Ocean which travel through the Earth’s core could enhance understanding of our solar system, according to new ANU research.
