Australian researchers have made a break through in developing a quantum computer – a computer so powerful that it calculates in seconds what it would take current supercomputers billions of years. University of New South Wales PhD student, Jeremy O’Brien is part of a research team at the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology who have…
Scientists agree: some people are universally gorgeous. Studies in evolutionary biology show that few things are more advantageous to success than being attractive, since good looking individuals leave more offspring than their unattractive contemporaries.

Astronomers Discover Menagerie of Hot Molecules How are stars born? A new instrument, developed at UNSW is probing interstellar gas clouds to find out.
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.
