The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach.
Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA bases, as well as salts that formed early in the history of Bennu’s parent body, according to a pair of studies by international and Australian researchers.
The Schrödinger impact basin is an area of the moon that contains two gigantic canyons – that are definitely there whether you look at it or not – and international researchers say they might have found out how these huge valleys were formed.
Dust on the moon could one day be used to build solar panels, according to researchers who say this could allow astronauts to access power on the moon without carting heavy equipment from Earth.
They say music is the universal language of humankind, but some stars in our galaxy exhibit their own rhythm, offering fresh clues into how they and our galaxy evolved over time.
Miso made in space has a nuttier, more roasted flavour than miso made on solid ground, according to international researchers, who sent a small container of fermenting soybeans and salt, the ingredients for the traditional Japanese condiment, to the International Space Station.
A QUT cosmologist is part of the international research team that’s published an analysis that shines new light on dark energy and suggests the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.
We’re back for the mid-2025 season of Talkin’ Science, lets get the headlines across the past week…
An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia, led by former Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational-wave Discovery researcher Professor Xingjiang Zhu who is now a Professor at Beijing Normal University has, for the first time, determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born.
A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other and emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their finding means we know it isn’t just neutron stars that emit such pulses, but these are spaced unusually far apart.
Dr Themiya Nanayakkara at Swinburne University has made a surprising space discovery – a giant spiral disk galaxy in the early cosmos which is three times larger than similar galaxies at the same epoch.
Ten weeks on from the return of the second Varda Space Industries mission, the first to South Australia’s Koonibba Test Range… the third mission has made landfall.
Following a ground support issue that delayed the Eris 1 launch window twenty four hours from Thursday, an electrical fault triggered the payload fairing to deploy just one hour before Friday’s effort. Now Gilmour Space are working the problem having put their launch window on hold for now.
