Giant machines for giant questions
Australian researchers are in pole position to solve some of the Universe’s greatest mysteries by participating in three massive global projects.
-
We need to lose our fear of the ‘nuclear’ word
Our new submarine fleet, new cancer therapies, quantum computing, space industry and satellites, the extraction of critical minerals and monitoring the environment will all demand levels of training in nuclear science we cannot at present meet.

An unlucky star. A new comb. Nuclear jobs – call to action
Stories from the Australian Institute of Physics Congress 2022 in Adelaide. We’ve made a new comb: introducing the world’s most accurate ruler – for fast internet, finding planets, detecting explosives and earthquakes and more

Boil a kettle with fusion energy. Diamonds in your phone. Mining for dark matter.
Fusion energy The US fusion news is amazing. But it’s a long way from endless clean power. The researchers probably generated enough excess energy to boil a kettle. Interviews available with Australian nuclear physicists at the Australian Institute of Physics Congress in Adelaide

Fusion energy
Reactions: interviews available with Australian nuclear physicists at the Australian Institute of Physics Congress in Adelaide The US experimenters apparently have got out more energy than they put in in a fusion experiment, thus technically achieving ignition. This indeed is a breakthrough worthy of celebration. However, there is a long way to go. From the…

Before the Big Bang, nuclear jobs, quantum music…
Monday at the physics national congress in Adelaide Before the Big Bang, beyond black holes: questions for Christmas lunch What came before the big bang? Is there an edge to space? What’s beyond the horizon of a black hole? What can the amazing images from the James Webb Space Telescope tell us?
