One of the most powerful black holes in the universe is belching out gas at speeds of up to 10,000 kilometres per second, making its estimated mass more than 10 times lower than first thought.

Physicists in Australia and Britain have reshaped quantum uncertainty to sidestep the restriction imposed by the famous Heisenberg uncertainty principle – a result that could underpin future ultra-precise sensor technology used in navigation, medicine and astronomy.

Some exoplanets may produce water during their formation via reactions between rocks and hydrogen, according to new research in Nature. The findings offer insight into why some exoplanets have water on their surface.

An international team of scientists from the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA collaborations, including researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, has detected two remarkable black hole collisions that are offering new insights into both the evolution of the cosmos and the nature of dark matter.

Southern Launch's Koonibba Facility sees AT01 fly, we deep dived into bringing James Webb into focus and how traffic vibrations saved a tonne of research money. This is the wrap of the past five Talkin' Science daily bites...

The European Space Agency has expanded its capability to communicate with scientific, exploration and space safety missions across our Solar System with the inauguration of a new 35-m diameter deep space antenna – the fourth for Estrack, ESA's deep space tracking network.

An astronomical instrument featuring Australian-built technology has achieved first light – the crucial moment when a telescope captures its first images – at the European Southern Observatory's Paranal Observatory in Chile.

Scientists from The Australian National University have analysed signals generated by the vibrations of traffic along the Federal Highway to learn more about the seismic nature of Lake George, situated north-east of Canberra.

Evidence of lightning on Mars, detected in sounds and electrical signals captured by NASA's Perseverance rover, is presented in a paper published in Nature.

At the end of last month, Brisbane based rocket manufacturer, AtSpace, entered the rocketry record books by successfully launching their Australian-made A01 rocket higher than any other Australian commercial rocket has gone before.

A pair of Sydney PhD students helped sharpen the view of humanity's most powerful space observatory – without leaving Earth. The remarkable technical breakthrough saw the development of a software fix that corrected blurring in images made by NASA's multibillion-dollar James Webb Space Telescope,restoring crisp performance to one of its vital scientific instruments – all without the need for a space mission or astronaut repair. To take us on a deep dive, those students - Max Charles and Louis Desdoigts - are beaming in.

From two Sydney students fixing an instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope to a global analogue space mission and new theories on the location of Martian Ice... This is the wrap of the past five Talkin' Science daily bites...

Explosive volcanic eruptions on Mars may have transported water to equatorial regions where it froze into thick ice, according to computer simulations of the red planet's ancient history by US and Italian researchers.

A two-week simulated space mission – the only one of its kind in Australia to join concurrent missions around the world – put a crew through their paces while performing space experiments at the University of Adelaide.

A discovery of binary stars could be the first step in building a more complete picture of how our galaxy formed, according to astronomers from The Australian National University. The discovery is part of an ambitious 10-year program to scan the entire southern sky every few nights.

US scientists have used computer simulations to figure out the best personalities to send on long space missions, like a three year trip to Mars.

Silvia Mantovanini, PhD student at the Curtin University node of ICRAR is beaming in to take us on a deep dive.

A pair of Sydney PhD students helped sharpen the view of humanity's most powerful space observatory – without leaving Earth.

The world is likely to come up against several shortages of critical minerals while transitioning to low-carbon sources of energy, according to international researchers.

Australian and international scientists have found new evidence that may support a controversial idea that a comet exploded over the Earth around 12,800 years ago.

A flexible robotic sheet that can grasp objects and move across surfaces could improve autonomous systems in fields such as exploration, haptic displays and smart healthcare, according to international researchers.

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighbouring galaxies, a University of Queensland survey has found.

Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research have created the largest low-frequency radio colour image of the Milky Way ever assembled.
