A new optical circuit could make internet communication secure from increasingly sophisticated hacking attacks, a Sydney physicist says. Matthew Collins, a PhD student at The University of Sydney, has developed an optical circuit that creates a secure communication link, which can detect any online eavesdroppers. “People have become reliant on internet security for almost everything…
Unlocking the modern world’s magnetic mysteries may prove key to the universe, say physicists from The University of Adelaide. Dr Jonathan Hall and a research team from the Special Research Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter have developed a mathematical tool to explain a previously unexplained subatomic magnetic effect that underpins the working of…
Fresh Science is on hold for 2022. We will be back in 2023.
Let us know if you want to receive updates about the program.
Fresh Science is a national competition and training program helping early-career researchers find and share their stories of discovery.
We take young researchers with no media experience and help them become media spokespeople for their science, and reach stakeholders in government and industry.
Fresh Science gives finalists a taste of life in the limelight, with a day of media training, a day of training in stakeholder engagement, and a public event in their home state.
Alumni of the program include Professor Allan Duffy and Dr Niraj Lal.
Read some of the fresh science we discovered in 2021 here.
