Researchers have developed a material that changes colour in the near-infrared region, meaning the change cannot be detected with the human eye. [ + ]

Australian researchers have identified several existing TGA‑approved medicines that could help slow brain damage in children with a rare form of dementia. [ + ]

It has previously been unclear whether statins were effective in reducing heart attack and stroke in older people due to underrepresentation in major trials. [ + ]

Researchers have found a way to reinforce ice with tiny plant-based crystals and a specially designed protein, resulting in a material that rivals concrete in strength. [ + ]

The fund will be used to coordinate strategic investments, deliver on government priorities and turn the state's research strengths into new businesses. [ + ]

Researchers have uncovered insights into how stem cells develop and mature into heart muscle cells, potentially paving the way for new treatments for heart disease. [ + ]

Researchers have discovered that the strain of mpox behind the 2022 outbreak was a weakened form of the virus, which may have helped it to spread faster. [ + ]

Researchers have developed a genome-editing approach that repairs a faulty gene directly at its natural location in the liver, rather than adding an extra copy of it. [ + ]

A specially designed micromechanical mirror array corrects optical distortions that occur when viewing biological tissue, making fine structures appear sharper. [ + ]

Women taking at least 800 micrograms of folic acid daily were more likely to report spotting and mild bleeding during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy, particularly if they were carrying a boy. [ + ]

Scientists have identified >1200 genetic variants associated with personality traits, revealing that the genetics underpinning our personalities may also influence many of life's major outcomes. [ + ]

Scientists have developed a blood test that can detect iron deficiency in just 15 minutes, overcoming key limitations of existing point-of-care diagnostics. [ + ]

By targeting the RNA helicase known as DDX6, scientists could enable the immune system to recognise and attack cancer more effectively. [ + ]

DKSH will provide distribution of the Bioyond Robotics portfolio of AI-driven autonomous laboratory solutions across Australia. [ + ]

The field of nanoscience has a pervasive error of data analysis that can give misleading insights into how tiny objects' properties depend on their size. [ + ]
