Research documenting the melting of ice sheets in East Antarctica since the last ice age is providing crucial data to project 21st century sea-level rises.
A "green technology" of the leafy variety that can remove metal contamination from soils could prove to be a boon for the agricultural sector.
History books say links between East and West only date back 2000 years, but work by nuclear scientists are pushing those dates back to 4000 years.
Research using nuclear science to trace soil in one of the areas affected in the 'Black Saturday' bushfires is explaining the impact of soil erosion.
