A new guidebook has been launched to help scientists identify and disover industry-focused applications for their new technologies.

It's not only about technology: human engagement is important in online social networking, according to Tony Henderson.

A new test has been developed by Australian researchers that will give farmers an accurate indication of how much sulphur their soil needs.

Silver has become the most popular new car colour but silver cars are unsafe and have a high risk of crashing, warns Australian research.

Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) are measuring how dissolved salts are affecting bubble coalescence (how bubbles merge). Now, while that might sound like an arcane and esoteric quest, the scientists believe the data they are collecting will be critical for testing theories on how air/solvent interfaces operate. This in turn may transform many industrial processes connected with soft matter systems (for example, emulsions, gels and colloids) and revolutionise biology.

If we do not have a seat at the table of space-faring nations we may miss out on the benefits exploring that frontier may offer.

Modelling work has helped to identify and solve flow distribution problems while saving BP millions of dollars, according to a new paper.

A new membrane has been developed that mimics pores found in plants and has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation.

Converting gas, coal or biofuel to liquid could provide a significant guaranteed contribution to Australia's energy supply, according to Dr David Trimm.

Initial results have shown that production of clean fuel using solar power and micro-algae will be economically viable in the future. 

It is not too late for Australia to regain its position as a major commercial player in the solar power industry, according to Martin Green.

A new report has revealed that there are serious gaps in urban water planning in some parts of Australia, which could lead to water supply problems in the future.

Through his imagination and drive one man has brought renewable light into the lives of 100,000 people round the world. But Dave Irvine-Halliday won’t stop till he’s helped 1.6 billion. Francesco Raeli reports.

Without early, broadscale adoption of nuclear power, unremitting world energy demand will make a mockery of greenhouse amelioration, according to Peter Gellatly.

New research has shown that agriculture is the best performing industry in all sectors of the Australian economy, despite the drought.
