A new Australian study measuring the survival rates of SARS-CoV-2 on various surfaces has found the virus may be able to survive up to 28 days on glass, stainless steel and even banknotes. However, experts urge caution over how these results are interp… Continue reading Coronavirus can survive on banknotes for 28 days, but what does that mean?
Researchers from CSIRO’s Data61 and the Monash Blockchain Technology Centre have developed the world’s most efficient blockchain protocol that is both secure against quantum computers and protects the privacy of its users and their transactions. The te… Continue reading MatRiCT: A quantum-safe and privacy-preserving blockchain protocol
Researchers from CSIRO’s Data61 have developed a new technique to protect consumers from voice spoofing attacks. Fraudsters can record a person’s voice for voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant and replay it to impersonate that i… Continue reading New technique protects consumers from voice spoofing attacks
As porous materials with incredibly high surface areas, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a huge degree of versatility that could see them used in alternative rocket fuels, advanced batteries and devices that quickly detect dangerous gases. Another… Continue reading “Magnetic sponge” MOF captures carbon with record energy efficiency
Only about five percent of the content of the universe is made up of regular (or baryonic) matter – and we still don’t know where most of that is. Now, an international team of astronomers has developed a creative new method to detect this missing matt… Continue reading One mystery solves another: Fast radio bursts detect missing matter
Buffalo were imported to the northern regions of Australia as working animals and a source of food in the first half of the 19th century, but have since been left to their own devices. The wild animals, along with feral cattle, now cause all sorts of d… Continue reading Australia to tag feral buffalo for massive satellite tracking project
StellarGraph has launched a series of new algorithms for network graph analysis to help discover patterns in data, work with larger data sets and speed up performance while reducing memory usage. Problems like fraud and cybercrime are highly complex an… Continue reading Open source algorithms for network graph analysis help discover patterns in data
Windows capable of harvesting energy from the sun have been on the horizon for a number of years, but they’re yet to help cut down a building’s energy costs. A new development from Australian researchers may change that.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy… Continue reading Semi-transparent solar cells could rival rooftop solar for efficiency
The battle against the novel coronavirus calls for inventive ways to track its spread, and one way scientists are working to achieve this is through our sewage. Australian researchers are reporting a breakthrough in this area, discovering evidence of t… Continue reading Detecting signs of COVID-19 in sewage offers virus-tracking potential
CSIRO‘s Data61, the digital specialist arm of Australia’s national science agency, announced the creation of the seL4 Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, to accelerate the development of the seL4 microkernel and related technologies. An Au… Continue reading seL4 creates open source foundation to enable more secure computing systems
