First Nations people are more likely to die on the road, a trend seen in ten years of data. Credit: BITR Last year, more than 1,200 people died in road crashes across Australia. But not all Australians face the same level of risk on our roads. Government data across five states and territories show significant … Read more
A model developed by evolutionary mathematicians in Canada and Europe shows that as cooperation becomes easier, it can unexpectedly break down. The researchers at the University of British Columbia and Hungarian Research Network used computational spatial models to arrange individuals from the two species on separate lattices facing one another.

The sunken village of Kallio is emerging from the waters of the Mornos dam. Record-breaking temperatures and prolonged drought in Greece have exposed a sunken village in Athens’ main reservoir for the first time in 30 years.

Kobe University HIRATA Naoyuki was the first to realize that the location of an asteroid impact on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede is almost precisely on the meridian farthest away from Jupiter. This implied that Ganymede had undergone a reorientation of its rotational axis and allowed Hirata to calculate what kind of impact could have caused this … Read more

Computer simulations and advanced AI were used to study and predict how peptides aggregate, giving new insights into their behavior and structure. Credit: JACS Au/XJTLU Scientists from China have investigated how short peptide chains aggregate together in order to deepen our understanding of the process which is crucial for drug stability and material development. Their … Read more
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Industry experts and university researchers have joined together to ask the government to address the climate impact of organic, carbon-based chemicals. While demand for fossil fuels as energy is expected to fall in the coming decades, the petrochemicals sector is set to grow significantly according to experts and is set out … Read more
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Australian transport emissions are still growing. As a result, transport is expected to be our biggest-emitting sector by 2030. So, cutting transport emissions is crucial to Australia’s net-zero strategy. Studies show electrifying passenger vehicles and trucks will greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But the switch to electric vehicles is slow. It … Read more
