Plant-based foods may be going out of fashion – an expert explains.
The best map yet of cosmic magnetic fields has been created with Australia’s most powerful radio telescope.
CSIRO has been the custodian of Australia’s climate modelling through decades of shrinking budgets. Sacking scientists will change this.
The measures announced in the budget are not the kind of renewal many in the research sector might have hoped for.
If Australia hits 82% renewables by the end of the decade, wholesale power should be a third cheaper.
War on Science takes aim at science’s global culture wars. Edited by controversial physicist Lawrence Krauss, it argues evidence-based science is under threat.
A team of scientists has discovered the secret to making ‘Boronia Babies’ is a tiny moth. Heliozelidae pollinate the weird flowers made famous by May Gibbs.
A CSIRO study has found 39% less plastic pollution in and around Australian coastal cities over ten years. It also found more places with no rubbish at all.
Water is being trucked into the Adelaide Hills and surrounds to fill empty rainwater tanks and dams. Is there a better way to cope with future water shortages?
The PFAS in lithium-ion batteries is a major obstacle to recycling or disposing of these batteries safely. But we have a way to fix this problem.
‘Project Phoenix’ was initiated by small research organisation known as the SETI Institute. But it was lucky to get off the ground.
The technology is enhancing athletic performance, offering more personalised healthcare and improving workplace safety.
Efforts to reduce emissions and decarbonise industry must be combined with new technology that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Australia can build an industry around this service.
As world leaders gather at COP29 to consider reducing emissions, the latest global carbon budget shows CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels are still going up, not down, despite some promising signs.
We wanted to find out how much carbon and nitrogen is being released from the northern permafrost. Here’s the region’s first full greenhouse gas budget covering CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide.
On land, Australia has already passed 1.5°C of warming, bringing lower streamflows, more fire weather and marine heatwaves.
CSIRO’s RV Investigator plays a huge role in finding and identifying ships that have been lost beneath the waves for decades. Here’s why it’s so well equipped for the task.
Neutron stars contain some of the universe’s most exotic states of matter – but there’s no easy way to peek inside.
We developed My Climate View to help Australian farmers and producers better understand the risks and opportunities they face over the next 50 years. Road-testing with farmers was vital.
