New nanotechnology developed by ANU physicists will help scientists better understand and fight certain diseases by zooming in on cells and viruses at 10 times the resolution of today’s microscopes.

We now know more about the diet of a prehistoric creature that grew up to two and a half metres long and lived in Australian waters during the time of the dinosaurs, thanks to the power of x-rays.

The state and federal governments' Murray-Darling Basin Plan was intended to preserve environmental flows while allocating set volumes of water to farmers. But it’s not working properly.

A new study shows that we can use existing conservation data to predict which currently unthreatened species could become threatened and take proactive action to prevent their decline before it is too late.

Genetic data could be the key to helping the endangered forty-spotted pardalote on the road to recovery, according to a new study from ANU.

This is a job you’d want to rock up to every day.

When Dhruv Bhagtani landed in Australia thanks to a prestigious Future Research Talent Award, he knew he’d be doing world-class undergraduate research. What he didn’t expect was the world of opportunity it also opened up.

“If they need me," Dr Brad Tucker says, "it is either a critical point for what is happening or it is a very serious matter, the kind of thing you see on the news, so they want as much detail as possible.”

New research, published today in the journal Nature, projects a slowing of the Antarctic overturning circulation and deep ocean warming over the next few decades. This could change our climate and marine environment in profound and potentially irreversible ways.
