The right tools at the right time can make all the difference.

Antimicrobial resistance is impacting industries – but there is a solution: ESG.

Understanding both the risks and benefits of vaccination (and how we think about risk) can help you make the right decision for you or your family about having a COVID-19 vaccine.

What we know so far about the science behind blood clotting, our understanding of how it might be connected to the AstraZeneca vaccine, and how scientists and health authorities are investigating the risks.

How scientists and health authorities keep a close eye on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, including after those vaccines are rolled out to the public.

In a way, travelling back in time is something that astronomers, astrophysicists and space scientists do every day when they look into space.

It sounds like something out of a horror movie, but regenerating body parts is a real specialty of echinoderms.

Humans are not the only ones who enjoy optical illusions. Great bowerbirds make forced perspective illusions, too.

Poor old Pluto never asked for all this drama, yet it has found itself at the centre of a storm of controversy ever since it was demoted from a ‘planet’ to a ‘dwarf planet’ back in 2006.

Genetically modified food can prompt some very passionate responses and a whole lot of debate: some argue it could end world hunger; others think the risks are too great.

The powerful lasers researchers were trying to build had a nasty habit of damaging the machinery being used to generate them. Then a new way to make lasers changed everything.

Lasers can be some of the most delicate tools in a science laboratory, capable of holding tiny microorganisms without killing them.

Space mining. It’s the stuff of science fiction for now, but it could be a real possibility very soon—and our very own Moon could be a prime target.

Two biochemists found ways to use nature’s evolutionary processes to make new proteins. Those methods led to the development of new medicinal treatments, all thanks to something called ‘phage display’.

We’ve been able to harness the power of evolution to create biochemical tools that can build better medicines and cleaner fuels.

We can harness the power of the immune system to successfully prevent some nasty diseases through immunisation—but what about other diseases such as cancer?

Have you ever boiled an egg and wished you hadn’t? Thankfully, science is here to help. All you need is a handy invention called the Vortex Fluidic Device.

There’s one animal with seemingly physics-defying faeces: the wombat.

A few species can escape the ageing process completely.

If you’ve ever owned a cat—or been in contact with undercooked meat, or unwashed vegetables—you may be carrying a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii.
