The Voyager space probes sent back some amazing images of the planets in the outer Solar System, and they're still talking to Earth every day via Australia's tracking station.
Computer says no: robo-advice is growing but we still don’t trust it
Robo-advice might prove most useful to those who need it the most, making them feel more competent and in control.
A guide to deconstructing the battery hype cycle
High energy, high power and endless life cycles: not all batteries are created equal.
How to make batteries that last (almost) forever
Batteries that can self-sustain are needed for long-term animal tracking as well as shipping and logistics.
Rising carbon dioxide is making the world’s plants more water-wise
The globe is greening as plants grow faster in response to rising carbon dioxide. But a new analysis shows they aren't using more water to do it - a rare piece of good news for our changing planet.
As another smog season looms, India must act soon to keep Delhi from gasping
In November 2016, smog in New Delhi was 16 times above safe levels. An Indian researcher dug into the data to find out why, and how India can keep its capital breathing safely.

Curious Kids: why do some people find some foods yummy but others find the same foods yucky?
Taste dictates most food choices, but there's more to it than just the taste buds on your tongue.
Data visualisation isn’t just for communication, it’s also a research tool
The daunting complexity of biological data requires tailored visualisation tools to reveal buried insights.
Contributions to sea-level rise have increased by half since 1993, largely because of Greenland’s ice
Greenland's ice is largely responsible for the accelerating pace of sea-level rise. A new analysis shows that, while Greenland accounted for just 5% of the rise in 1993, that figure rose to 25% by 2014.
Only a mother could love ‘em: why cockroaches and termites are great parents
Cockroaches and termites are closely related, and both pay their offspring a lot of attention – so much so in the latter's case that the kids stay all their lives to help keep the nest clean and tidy.
Research in autism-friendly technology needs to improve to make a real difference for people
There are plenty of apps that people with autism can use for learning, play and communication. Not all are designed with autism in mind, so what can we learn from any online user feedback?
Five ways older Australians can embrace technology to redefine later life
Australians are living longer, and digital technologies could help them take control of retirement.
Australia can’t lose in the global race for cheaper, cleaner energy
A new report from CSIRO outlines four pathways for Australia to hit our Paris climate targets, and get cheaper energy at the same time.
Global stocktake shows the 43 greenhouse gases driving global warming
While the gases most responsible for global warming - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - continue to climb, other industrial greenhouse gases are being brought gradually under control.
The science of taste, or why you choose fries over broccoli
Your genes, your saliva and the bacteria that live in your mouth all shape how food tastes and what you prefer to eat.
ASKAP telescope speeds up the hunt for new Fast Radio Bursts
It used to take weeks to find any of these mysterious signals from deep in space but when the new telescope started looking it found one within days. Then another.
Maybe we can, but should we? Deciding whether to bring back extinct species
The "decision science" approach helps avoid unanticipated consequences of programs to bring species such as New Zealand's little bush moa, Waitomo frog, or laughing owl back from extinction.
