Tread softly: A new 'light touch' way to detect kauri dieback
Kauri dieback is one of the most serious threats facing Aotearoa New Zealand's kauri forests. The disease is caused by a soil-dwelling microbe, Phytophthora aga...
Cool it: AI-driven solutions to lower urban heat need community buy-in to work
A new framework to cool urban areas which integrates AI-driven technical solutions with cooling schemes that are acceptable and doable for the host community, h...
Physicists create Bose–Einstein condensate from ultracold polar molecules
Bose–Einstein condensates are states of matter that form when particles called bosons are cooled to temperatures that are only a fraction of a degree above abso...
Could quantum physics help us find Earth 2.0?
When astronomers talk about directly imaging an exoplanet orbiting a faraway star, the analogy they most commonly use is trying to spot a firefly next to a mass...
Learning more about Australia's remote Northwest reefs with Indigenous rangers
Offshore Northwest reefs Rankin Bank and Glomar Shoal are remote and little known, but Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) researchers are using techn...
In wine country, barn owls offer eco-friendly alternative for rodent control
