Scientists have developed new micro sensors that are so strong that they can withstand corrosion and temperatures of more than 500oC, meaning they can be used in extreme conditions such as oil pipelines to detect for any early signs of deterioration. “When used in pipeline systems, these new sensors can detect drops in flow rates…
A technique that can match images and video to the device that took them, is being used to investigate cybercrimes. Developed by Dr Xufeng Lin and his research team at Charles Sturt University, the method exploits the unique traces—often referred to as the camera’s fingerprints—which the hardware and software processing components of a digital camera…
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.
