Pioneering 95-year-old Australian mathematician and statistician Alison Harcourt AO has made a big impact on her field, and on her colleagues

A major obstacle to quantum computing has been overcome by modifying a common industrial method to create large arrays of single atoms in a silicon chip

In times of remote communication and notorious connection problems, how do we empathise with each other through the curtain of technology when non-verbal cues are missing?

It took a mob to attack the US Capitol before then President Trump’s incitement was banned by the social media companies, but these same companies routinely censor the marginalised

Associate Professor Dunbar-Hester discusses the cultures and the communities of the digital era, with a focus on media and tech activists

Computational social science has come to the fore in the COVID-19 response, allowing policy makers to trial policies on ‘artificial societies’ and see the results – before doing it in real life

A machine learning framework has been created to precisely locate atom-sized quantum bits in silicon – a crucial step for building a large-scale silicon quantum computer

Why has a pornographic image been widely used to train computer scientists and their algorithms? And what sort of message does it send to women?

Newly developed software for learning quantum computer programming allows students to see inside the ‘black box’ and start using the ‘weird’ physics to solve problems

We are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence for important decisions but we don’t know how those decisions are being made. We urgently need Explainable AI (XAI)
