Million year lag time in transport of sediment in Murray Darling River Basin system.
Better understanding of light harvesting may benefit agriculture
ITRAX scanning on cores from Macquarie Island
Research reveals that strong westerly winds weaken the Southern Ocean’s ability to store carbon and thereby contribute to faster accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Major study identifies a potential drug target for lowering cholesterol
Study explored how key proteins manage dietary cholesterol absorption and elucidated crucial transport mechanisms that contribute to cholesterol balance in the body.
Significant progress on breakthrough cancer therapy
Research has demonstrated that internally generated neutrons could be used to effectively target micro-infiltrates and cancer cells outside of the defined treatment regions.
