“This is one of my favourite galaxies for testing new equipment.”

In the hushed light of a museum gallery, Hallie Meredith discovered something intriguing about ancient Roman glasswork hiding in plain sight.

Researchers engineered “gyromorphs,” a new type of metamaterial that combines liquid-like randomness with large-scale structural patterns to block light from every direction. This innovation solves longstanding limitations in quasicrystal-based designs and could accelerate advances in photonic computing.

In an era driven by complex data, scientists are increasingly encountering information that doesn’t lie neatly on flat, Euclidean surfaces. From 3D medical scans to robot orientations and AI transformations, much of today’s data lives on curved geometric spaces, called…

Nearly 13% of Australians are exposed to food insecurity, with rural, regional and remote areas disproportionately affected. New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has uncovered that while regional and remote food security initiatives are innovating, collaborating, sharing knowledge, and…

The European Space Agency has completed the Orion service module for NASA’s Artemis 4 mission to the moon, which was saved from cancellation earlier this year by the U.S. Congress

NASA’s Technology Transfer Office invites entrepreneurs, innovators, and creative thinkers to apply NASA’s patented technologies to practical applications. Participants will select an existing NASA patent and develop a business or product concept that will be evaluated based on value proposition,…

Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that anxiety may be controlled not by neurons but by two dueling groups of immune cells inside the brain. These microglia act like biological pedals—one pushing anxiety forward and the other holding it back.

The launch helped strengthen Europe’s ambitions in climate monitoring, disaster response and maritime security.

Footprints preserved on ancient dunes show Neanderthals actively navigating, hunting, and living along Portugal’s coastline. Their behavior and diet suggest a far more adaptable and socially complex population than once assumed.
