In the race towards Net Zero 2050, every discovery helps. But this breakthrough could revolutionise energy production and waste consumption. This is how it occurred.

Professor Yasmina Sultanbawa is striving to answer the question: how can we produce, process, preserve and protect our food in the most natural way possible?

A partnership between the biomaterials research team and the US Department of Defense has harnessed two proteins from deadly snake venom that can help stop bleeding at a faster rate than ever before.

Professor Yasmina Sultanbawa has a vision: native food telling the story of Australia's Indigenous culture at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Another La Niña is being predicted for later this year – a situation that researchers are calling “unusual”. This is what it would mean for our already rain-soaked nation.

Bioplastics can help address the “wicked problem” of plastic pollution, but companies and research institutions need to take a holistic approach, says Associate Professor Steven Pratt.

The Australian government has launched a campaign asking people to “switch off light pollution” to protect wildlife. So, what does the science say? Should we rethink Christmas lights?

These biodiversity researchers got more than they bargained for during COVID, uncovering an ecosystem in their house and yard.

The government should step in to ease the burden of climate-induced cost of living hikes, says a team of UQ researchers.

Australia will need to speed up and broaden its decarbonisation efforts to achieve net zero by 2050, according to the final report of the Net Zero Australia project.
