Engineers have developed a new 3D-printed titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than other forms of titanium, but it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any 3D-printed metal ever made.

Repeated knocks to the head are known to carry increased risks to our neurological health, but a new study has sought to fill in important details around what they might mean for the skull, finding they lead to robust increases in bone thickness.

Australian scientists have demonstrated a new way to restore insulin production in pancreatic cells, using a drug that’s already approved for use in humans. The study could mark a major breakthrough towards new treatments for diabetes.

A landmark study from researchers in Australia has established the first links between childhood obesity and cognitive ability in midlife, with the authors suggesting this relationship may have ties to one's risk of dementia.

A research group at Australia's Monash University has developed a novel layer component that shapes as a promising material for lithium-sulfur batteries moving forward, offering these devices both a high capacity and long lifetime.

Researchers have been studying saliva from ticks in hope of developing next-generation medications, and a new paper has demonstrated how proteins within it can be modified to take am at the underlying cause of inflammatory diseases in humans.

Regular exercise is generally a good idea at any age, but maintaining an active lifestyle is especially important as we move into older age. A new discovery from scientists in Australia has shed further light on the reasons why.

Scientists in Australia have come up with a new design for lithium sulfur batteries that involves adding a sugar to address inherent stability issues, a move that keeps the experimental cells ticking across more than 1,000 cycles.

Australian researchers have cooked up a creative partial solution to the problem of labor shortages in the fruit-picking sector, developing a robot that can harvest apples from orchards at high speed.

Researchers have very limited opportunities to study the earliest stages of human development, but a groundbreaking discovery will now provide them with a new model to investigate the science behind matters like infertility and congenital disease.

Researchers have discovered a novel protein that can trigger the proliferation of muscle stem cells and promote healing, offering hope not only to those who have torn a muscle, but also the elderly and those suffering severe muscle wasting diseases.

Bacteria are fast evolving resistance to antibiotics, meaning our best drugs could soon stop working entirely. Now researchers have found a way to bypass drug resistance in these so-called superbugs – by distracting them with predatory viruses.
