Climate adaptation, digital transformation and geopolitical shifts are among the ‘megatrends’ Australia must navigate to thrive in the coming decades. Around 3.7 million Australians have been accidentally trapped in a sea tear. For the ill-equipped it tends to be a frightening encounter – however for experienced surfers, tears are a helpful method for riding through the whitewash and out to […]

WeedScan, a new app for identifying weeds
We’ve used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify a pest stink bug. Now we’re working with our partners on WeedScan, a new app for identifying and reporting weeds. Weeds cost Australia’s agriculture industry at least $5 billion a year. They make up about 12 per cent of our flora, a higher proportion than any other continent. Identifying and reporting harmful weeds […]
A new Australian supercomputer has already delivered a stunning supernova remnant pic
Within 24 hours of accessing the first stage of Australia’s newest supercomputing system, researchers have processed a series of radio telescope observations, including a highly detailed image of a supernova remnant. The very high data rates and the enormous data volumes from new-generation radio telescopes such as ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder) need highly capable software running on supercomputers. This is […]
