A Black Hole Jet Equals 10,000 Suns As We Follow Up Australia’s Departure from ESO
From discovering the power of 10,000 suns in a black hole's jet power, to our last part of Artemis Two coverage and learning about the women who shaped the science…
Eight women whose groundbreaking work shaped nuclear science — without recognition
To mark International Women's Day, ANSTO published profiles of eight pioneering women whose discoveries underpin the physics and chemistry used at the organisation today. From Marietta Blau's nuclear emulsions to…
A new UNSW report shows what Australia loses by not joining ESO
Full membership of the European Southern Observatory would cost Australia around $400 million over ten years — but a new economic analysis by UNSW Sydney argues the country is already…
Why astronauts’ brains struggle with gravity even after months in space
A study two decades in the making has revealed that the human brain's model of gravity is so deeply embedded that it persists — and misfires — long after astronauts…
