New research shows carbon in soil minerals is much more important than anybody realised.
Astronomers caught the bizarre ‘awakening’ of an incredibly rare magnetic star.
Bushwalkers with smartphones could help scientists track a fungus lethal to many of Australia’s most loved trees.
Ten years of data from Australia’s comprehensive national flying-fox monitoring program reveals the grey-headed flying fox (fruit bat) population is stable. It’s good news for this threatened species.
The benefits of AI are transforming modern life — but disparities in digital confidence are leaving some behind.
Research suggests these forests could disappear by the 2070s.
Originally designed to speed up computer graphics, GPUs have become a hot commodity as AI workhorses.
We analysed photos of predators and prey from 3,667 camera traps in southwest Victoria. We found feral cats were more abundant and behaved differently in areas where foxes were baited.
There are two approaches to producing low-emission hydrogen, and public acceptance (or rejection) of each method will be important for hydrogen and its place in the energy transition.
It’s a horror story unfolding in the west that could sweep across the country. Beware the shot-hole borer, an exotic pest that threatens our tree crops, plantations, urban forests and wild places.
As we go from fishing to fish farming, we should borrow restorative approaches from permaculture.
Researchers, managers and Traditional Owners are joining forces to understand and combat climate threats to Australia’s many unique World Heritage sites.
We don’t yet fully understand what global climate tipping points mean for Australia. But we know enough to conclude the impacts of passing one or more tipping points must now be considered.
New research shows mosquitoes spread Buruli ulcer. So reducing mosquito populations and avoiding bites is critical.
While running it briefly and intermittently at a very low temperature may feel thrifty, it will not be the most energy efficient choice. Here’s what to do instead.
The most comprehensive Australian carbon budget assessment completed to date shows the nation flip-flops from source to sink of carbon emissions, depending on the prevailing conditions.
Each year insect scientists like us field questions from the press and public about Christmas beetle populations: where have they gone?
Kencangnya laju emisi mengurangi jatah CO2 yang bisa kita lepaskan untuk membatasi suhu Bumi 1,5°C. Dengan tingkat emisi saat ini, bujet karbon kita tersisa 7 tahun lagi.
The proliferation of Antarctic research stations – 77 in all – is increasing knowledge of the continent but also the human impacts. A new study has identified the best ways to limit these impacts.
