A new Australian study has found that electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with vehicle‑to‑home (V2H) technology can significantly reduce household electricity costs and lessen the need for large, costly home battery systems. Researchers from Flinders University, Adelaide University and Murdoch University investigated how using an EV as a mobile energy storage unit influences the optimal sizing of roof...

Adelaide University and Kangaroo Island Research Station researchers have developed a simple, low-cost way to help wildlife survive in the critical days and weeks after bushfires, by delivering artificial nectar to animals struggling to find food. The study, published in the Australian Journal of Zoology, provides a proof of concept showing that a wide range of native animals will readily use speci...

Adelaide University researchers have successfully tested a new type of portable atomic clock at sea for the first time, using technology that could help power the next generation of navigation, communications and scientific systems. The research team, from the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS), developed the highly precise device and trialled it aboard a vessel provided by the Roy...

With the international nuclear energy landscape changing in recent years, experts have noticed a need to provide evidence-based answers to the discussion around Australia’s nuclear future.
