To mark International Women’s Day, a chemist and a physicist discuss the challenges of careers in male-dominated fields and the women who inspire them

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let’s recognise that science has an image problem and fix it

A new diamond voltage imaging microscope will give us more insight into the neural micro-circuitry that runs our brains

A dark matter laboratory at the bottom of a gold mine in rural Victoria could make one of the biggest scientific discoveries ever – proving the existence of dark matter

Time crystals are mysterious configurations of particles that are perpetually switching and quantum computers can now be used to examine them

The search for dark matter may need a detector larger than we can build on Earth, but it could be that a neutron star can do the job

Around 95 per cent of the universe is still a mystery with unknown exotic particles and new forces awaiting discovery

From watching the heavens to discovering waves of light, relativity and entropy, understanding the nature of time has been a major human endeavour

High energy physicist Professor Elisabetta Barberio is leading groundbreaking Australian research in the hunt for dark matter and it’s all happening deep underground

Professor David Jamieson takes us on a journey of his research in physics; from the history of Galileo’s discoveries to quantum computing
