Have you noticed street trees looking oddly sad? You're not alone. Normally, spring means fresh green leaves and flowers. But this year, the heat has come early, stressing some trees.
Remote epitaxy has been gaining attention in the field of semiconductor manufacturing for growing thin films that copy the crystal structure of the template, which can later be exfoliated to form freestanding membranes. However, ...
In most illegal tree removals, you might see perhaps a handful of trees removed or poisoned. That's why the recent felling and poisoning of 265 old trees in Sydney's Castle Cove has been so breathtaking and appalling.
Multiphoton lithography (MPL) is a technique that uses ultra-short laser pulses to create complex three-dimensional (3D) structures at the micro- and nanoscale. It is based on the principle of multiphoton absorption (MPA), ...
A recent UNSW-led paper published in Nature Communications presents an exciting new way to listen to avalanches of atoms in crystals.
Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin—their other degree of freedom—is starting to be exploited. Spin defects make crystalline materials highly useful for quantum-based devices such as ultrasensitive ...
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach that connects academic researchers with community partners to inform project development. Where traditional research is often done "to" people, treating them as ...
Mothers, with a criminal record and who have also been through the care system, could well face negative judgements and excessive scrutiny by virtue of already 'being known' to the authorities.
Using chainsaws, heavy machinery and controlled burns, the Biden administration is trying to turn the tide on worsening wildfires in the U.S. West through a multi-billion dollar cleanup of forests choked with dead trees and ...
