The immune system is one of the most powerful tools we have in the fight against cancer, but sometimes it needs a little extra help. In a new study from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, researchers have developed a new way to summon a wider variety o… Continue reading Immunotherapy breakthrough recruits more immune cells to fight cancer
The Tasmanian tiger may be gone, but it’s not forgotten. New footage of the extinct marsupial has emerged from the vault of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA), showing the last known member of the species in a dingy cage.Continue R… Continue reading Long-lost video of extinct Tasmanian tiger found in film archive
Imagine getting a flat tire, but instead of swapping it out for a new one you just smear on a chemical that makes the rubber meld seamlessly back together. That’s the kind of breakthrough researchers at Australia’s Flinders University are now reporting… Continue reading New recyclable rubber material repairs itself on demand
Among their many uses, quantum dots have shown promise as photovoltaic materials in solar cells. Now, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have developed a new type of quantum dot solar cell that isn’t made with the toxic elements found… Continue reading Scientists give quantum dot solar cells a detox
The Martian landscape is dotted with features that resemble those on Earth, with evidence of ancient fluid flows. But were they caused by lava or mud? Now, European researchers have conducted experiments in chambers simulating Mars conditions and shown… Continue reading Weird structures on Mars may be created by mud volcanoes

Paleontologists in Australia have uncovered a strange new species of dinosaur. This new creature is an elaphrosaur, placing it in the theropod family along with the Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor – but this one had a long neck, no teeth and an unus… Continue reading Long-necked, toothless T.rex cousin unearthed in Australia
Voice-activated smart speakers can be pretty handy around the house, but they come with a privacy trade-off. Paranoid is an appropriately named start-up that’s now unveiled a set of devices that can make sure smart speakers are only listening when you … Continue reading Paranoid security systems block smart speaker ears until called on
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that’s as bizarre as it is fragile. Entangled particles are thought to lose this inexplicable link when exposed to outside factors. But now, physicists have managed to produce hot clouds of trillions of entangled at… Continue reading 15 trillion quantum entangled atoms make a record-breaking hot mess
Some bacteria are known to inject toxins into host cells using a syringe-like appendage. Past research has found that we might be able to hijack that as a new drug delivery system, and now scientists from the Max Planck Institute have developed a way t… Continue reading Bacterial attack system hijacked and controlled with light
