Robo-advice might prove most useful to those who need it the most, making them feel more competent and in control.
High energy, high power and endless life cycles: not all batteries are created equal.
Batteries that can self-sustain are needed for long-term animal tracking as well as shipping and logistics.
The globe is greening as plants grow faster in response to rising carbon dioxide. But a new analysis shows they aren’t using more water to do it - a rare piece of good news for our changing planet.
In November 2016, smog in New Delhi was 16 times above safe levels. An Indian researcher dug into the data to find out why, and how India can keep its capital breathing safely.
Treaties banning biological and chemical weapons are in place, and the path is clear to remove nuclear weapons too. Lethal autonomous weapons (killer robots) should be next.
Australian taxonomy resources number around 70 million specimens, valued at over AU$5 billion. That’s big science.
Taste dictates most food choices, but there’s more to it than just the taste buds on your tongue.
The daunting complexity of biological data requires tailored visualisation tools to reveal buried insights.
Greenland’s ice is largely responsible for the accelerating pace of sea-level rise. A new analysis shows that, while Greenland accounted for just 5% of the rise in 1993, that figure rose to 25% by 2014.
Cockroaches and termites are closely related, and both pay their offspring a lot of attention – so much so in the latter’s case that the kids stay all their lives to help keep the nest clean and tidy.
There are plenty of apps that people with autism can use for learning, play and communication. Not all are designed with autism in mind, so what can we learn from any online user feedback?
Australians are living longer, and digital technologies could help them take control of retirement.
A new report from CSIRO outlines four pathways for Australia to hit our Paris climate targets, and get cheaper energy at the same time.
While the gases most responsible for global warming - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - continue to climb, other industrial greenhouse gases are being brought gradually under control.
Your genes, your saliva and the bacteria that live in your mouth all shape how food tastes and what you prefer to eat.
No problem too big #1: Artificial intelligence and killer robots

In this special Speaking With podcast episode, a panel of artists and researchers speculates on the end of the world due to artificial intelligence and killer robots, as though it has already happened.
Name almost any app. Your data is probably being tracked.
From power walks to silly walks, we can use our movement to generate energy in a way that is unique to everyone. And that can be used to help secure our wearable technology.
