“Imagine how different it could be?” Kate asks. “Even if you didn’t get rid of the concrete, if you could just get the channel looking attractive!”

We now know just how massive the fastest-growing black hole in the Universe actually is, as well as how much it eats, thanks to new research led by ANU.

In search of an unbreakable code, ANU researchers are looking to the realm of quantum physics. And: laser beams.

A black hole around 23 times the size of the Sun has swallowed a mysterious, much smaller astrophysical object.

The unique genetic make-up of a group of Australian frogs could be the key to their survival, allowing them to better withstand our harsh climate.

When Manuraj Shunmugasundaram left India and moved to Australia, it was to study physics. He had his heart set on a career in astronomy, which is why he chose ANU, the best ranked university in Australia for astrophysics.

Survey results find that a scientist's ethnicity and socio-economic background, in particular, can limit their career progression.

Physicists at ANU have developed a way to use waves to manipulate the growth of bacteria biofilms – one of the most abundant forms of life on earth.

Snow was once a regular feature of the southern Australian climate, but it has become less common because of climate change.
