As Dom Koll radio-dated ancient crust samples he stumbled across evidence of a major event in Earth’s history, 10My ago. Nearby supernova? Global shift in ocean currents? An intriguing mystery! physics.anu.edu.au/news_even… @HIA_Accelerates @ausphysics @scienceANU @ANUmedia

How heavy are neutron stars at birth? A new study has found a new distribution! This could change how we understand supernovae and gravitational waves. We spoke to researcher Simon Stevenson to learn more! youtube.com/shorts/kSMynrhSG…

Manipulating light with a twist, for working with chiral molecules, eg asymmetric drugs, gets heaps easier thanks to neat insight. No complicated components, use simple ones arranged asymmetrically physics.anu.edu.au/news_even… @scienceANU @ausphysics @ourANU @anumedia @ivan_toftul

AI promises to help scientists do more, faster, with less money. But it brings a host of new concerns, too. In this article, @NabaviEhsan from @ANU_CPAS asks what the AI transformation will really mean for science: science.anu.edu.au/news-even…
