Over $8 million in research funding to Sydney ARC Future Fellows

Eight University of Sydney researchers have been awarded Australian Research Council funding in recognition of their projects tacking key research challenges.

Eureka Prize 2024 finalists announced

The awards honour researchers leading in their fields to tackle some of the world's most complex problems.

Tackling industrial emissions begins at the chemical reaction

University of Sydney researchers are proposing a new way to curb industrial emissions, by tapping into the "atomic intelligence" of liquid metals to deliver greener and more sustainable chemical reactions.

Nitrogen emissions have a net cooling effect. But researchers warn against a climate solution.

An international team of researchers has found that nitrogen emissions from fertilisers and fossil fuels have a net cooling effect on the climate. But they warn increasing atmospheric nitrogen has further damaging effects on the environment, calling for an urgent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to halt global warming.

Should the NSW Government buy our toll roads?

Toll roads charge too much yet we don't have enough of them. To fix both things, NSW should buy their private owners, writes Professor David Levinson for The Conversation.

Researchers unlock 'materials genome', opening possibilities for next-generation design

A new microscopy method has allowed researchers to detect tiny changes in the atomic-level architecture of crystalline materials like advanced steels for ship hulls and custom silicon for electronics. It could advance our ability to understand the fundamental origins of materials properties and behaviour.
