Lens 2,000 times thinner than human hair created at ANU Updated March 11, 2016 17:58:47 Australian scientists have created the world's thinnest lens, in a move that could revolutionise cameras and optical displays.A team of researchers led by Dr Yuerui 'Larry' Lu from the Australian National University (ANU) created the lens, which is one two-thousandth the thickness of a human hair.Scientists said the lens could have revolutionary applications in medicine, science and ..>> view originalNew Sea Stacks Discovered in Victoria
Five extra limestone columns were found to be added to Victoria's iconic Twelve Apostles after the discovery of researchers from the University of Melbourne and Deakin University during their sonar mapping of Victoria's southern coast. They named these ...>> view originalThis is the clearest picture yet of what could be an ageing star's planet-forming dust
Earth was born from a ring of dust some 4.5 billion years ago. In fact, that's how every planet is formed - a disc of dust swirled around a star and eventually clumped together enough to form large masses. But until now, astronomers were only able to capture images of these dust clouds hanging around young stars. Those days are over, though, because a team working with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer at the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Paranal Observation in Chile have just ca..>> view originalHubble Telescope continues to provide quality information
Despite being launched nearly 20 years ago, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) continues to pay off for scientists.Earlier this month, NASA/ESA released images from the telescope that set a new standard in measuring the distance of "ancient" galaxies. The images were released in connection with a study that was published in the March 8 edition of The Astrophysical Journal.By pushing NASA's HST to its limits, an international team of astronomers has shattered the cosmic distance record by measurin..>> view originalDriverless cars' future reliant on human and robot communication, scientist Christopher Lindinger says

DAVID MARK: New research suggests global food production is making it harder to combat climate change.Scientists from around the world have found that changes to land management since 1981 have produced more greenhouse gasses than were absorbed by forests.Meredith Griffiths reports.MEREDITH GRIFFITHS: When it comes to climate change, most of the world's attention is focused on carbon dioxide. After all, it's the most prevalent of the greenhouse gasses.But methane and nitrous oxide also contri..>> view originalGrim prospects: the shake-up of Australia's climate science
