CSIRO and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) have established a multi-million-dollar partnership to accelerate research initiatives aimed at tackling global challenges, such as climate change, building low-emissions technologies, and developing ethical artificial intelligence. 

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have created an algorithm that could produce high-resolution modelled images from lower-resolution micro X-ray CT scans. 

A team led by Professor Andrea Morello at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney has just exhibited the operation of a new type of quantum bit called a 'flip-flop' qubit, which combines the quantum properties of single atoms with easy controllability using electric signals similar to those used in standard computer chips.

UNSW has announced the launch of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Research Hub for Connected Sensors for Health, which will focus on the manufacturing and development of wearable medical devices.

Researchers from the UNSW Science School of Chemistry have developed a new technique for creating tiny 3D materials that could potentially help make cheaper and more sustainable fuel cells like hydrogen batteries. 

An Australian solar-powered electric car, designed and built solely by university students, has claimed a provisional Guinness World Record by going 1000km on a single charge in under 12 hours.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at UNSW Sydney’s School of Chemical Engineering where researchers have grown crystals made of zinc that look like snowflakes - inside a liquid metal.

UNSW Sydney Scientia Professor Martin Green has been awarded the 2022 Millennium Technology Prize for his leadership in the development of the Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) – the world’s most commercially viable and efficient silicon solar cell technology.

Now a new global study that has catalogued web silk properties of almost 1100 spiders hopes to provide a launchpad for the design of future biomaterials that emulate this wonder of nature.

Engineers from UNSW Sydney have successfully converted a diesel engine to run as a hydrogen-diesel hybrid engine – reducing CO2 emissions by more than 85 per cent in the process.
