The future of computing is quantum computers, a new kind of machine that will be able to do calculations in completely different ways from the computers we are used to. This will open up new doors for

There is a steady beat to the wet season in Bali, as many visitors discover on their afternoon beachside walks. Every day, heat and humidity build up in tall clouds sitting over the mountains, and

Every few years, tragedies on coastlines around the world remind us of the risk that we face from tsunamis. The 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami demonstrated just how vulnerable we are, and that

Monitoring a forest plantation used to present a significant challenge, requiring spending hundreds of hours measuring tree heights and locations out in the field. Now, the development of new methods

Scientific data these days comes from a large number of geospatial instruments: from satellites, ground based radar and seismic sensors, just to name a few. The question today is how can we more

The Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AGDC) is a novel collaborative approach from Geoscience Australia, CSIRO and NCI for generating vast volumes of satellite earth observation and other geospatial

It's the iconic scent of the Australian bush, and a feature of almost every Aussie backyard, so it's surprising that Australia only plays a small role in the multimillion-dollar global industry of our

Extreme weather is a part of life in Australia: bushfires, droughts, floods, cyclones, heatwaves. And every time an extreme weather event comes around, the health impacts are clear. In Australia, we

Fluid vortices rolling off a spinning sphere, from Dr Calabretto's research. Understanding the way fluid moves over a rotating sphere has implications for the behaviour of air flowing over an aircraft

When you ingest medicine from your pharmacist, specific proteins in your body transport them to where they need to go. In particular, some proteins play a key role in moving the drugs in and out of
