    Catch of the epoch. 🐟 A team of scientists have described a new species of 15-million-year-old fossilised fish, complete with preserved stomach contents and the pattern of colouration. Ferruaspis brocksi was named after Professor Jochen J. Brocks from the The Australian National University, who discovered several of the fossilised species at the Australian Museum’s McGraths Flat fossil site near Gulgong, NSW. It's the first fossil freshwater smelt (order Osmeriformes) to be found in Australia. Read the story: https://lnkd.in/gdWiS9Wx

    This image is out of this world. ✨ It might not look like much, but it's an incredible achievement. The SKA Observatory is today sharing the first glimpse of the Universe from their SKA-Low telescope. SKA-Low is still under construction at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, our Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory on Wajarri Yamaji Country, but the first 1024 antennas are already looking up and collecting data from the sky. This image shows a patch of sky 100 times bigger than the full Moon and was processed on the supercomputers at the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre. When the SKA-Low telescope is complete it will detect about 600,000 galaxies in this same patch. 🤯 Find out how we're helping build the world’s largest radio telescopes: https://lnkd.in/gUq-K22m 🏷️ | Wajarri Yamaji Group

    Bringing Aussie innovation to the global energy stage. 🌏 Our Deputy Science Director of Energy, Allison Hortle recently represented Australia at CERAWeek, the energy industry’s premier thought leadership conference held in Houston, Texas. CSIRO contributed to two energy industry roundtables on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) with representatives from industry, startups, Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and the Australian Government. Some of Allison's takeaways from the event included: ⚡ There is significant innovation and investment opportunity in carbon emissions reduction and cost effectiveness. ⚡ AI will play a pivotal role in increasing efficiencies and reducing costs, but enabling new technologies is critical ⚡ Securing and diversifying critical mineral supply chains is essential for the energy future. Find out more about how we're helping Australia lead the world in low-cost electrification and decarbonisation: https://lnkd.in/gHh-Xib8

    Here’s to a tree-mendous learning exchange! 🌲 We recently welcomed Blagoj Shurbevski, a Macedonian forest entomologist to our Australian National Insect Collection. Blagoj, who won Plant Health TV’s video contest with his fantastic video on Pine Wood Nematode, spent two weeks in Canberra with biosecurity expert Dr Mike Hodda, branching out his expertise. Don't leaf without learning more about our work on Pine Wood Nematode: https://lnkd.in/gdcSsaMz 📷 | Blagoj with National Research Collections Director Dr Anthony Walen and Dr Mike Hodda

    Spodumene is Australia's lithium mineral hero. 🔋 Lithium is key to the tech we use every day—from smartphones to electric vehicles—and Australia is leading the charge. As the world’s largest producer of spodumene, we supply around 47 per cent of the global market. Spodumene is mostly found in hard-rock ores and is critical to lithium-ion batteries. As demand for lithium grows, our researchers are developing new ways to find more deposits using advanced tech like hyperspectral imaging and machine learning. 💻 Unearth more about Spodumene: http://spr.ly/60420T89k 📸 | Rob Lavinsky via Wikimedia Commons.

    An ocean of experience. 🚢 The ocean is full of mysteries, and for a group of university students, it’s also the ultimate classroom. The Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Alliance Network (CAPSTAN) program brings together marine science students from all walks of life. They receive hands-on experience at sea on #RVInvestigator and a deeper understanding of the marine world – along with the skills to help protect it. Meet some of the seagoing students who departed Hobart last week on RV Investigator: https://lnkd.in/g6wY4bgB 📷 | Maren Preuss #NCRISImpact

    • A photo two researchers wearing hi-vis clothing and safety helmets while aboard a research vessel. Text above the photo reads: Ahoy there! Meet four students who are on board RV Investigator for the training experience of a lifetime.
    • A portrait photo shows a researcher looking into the camera. Text above the image reads: Ishtar Kenny. University of Adelaide. Studying: PhD in marine restoration. Interested in: the process of repairing and rebuilding damaged marine ecosystems.
    • Text is seen on a plain background, reading: “Most of my research so far has been around restoring marine ecosystems and some of the not only ecological but also social components that facilitate that.
“I haven't really had any experience with any of kind of the nitty gritty, technical oceanographic and geological marine stuff so I'm interested to see how it all works.”
    • A portrait photo shows a researcher looking into the camera. Text above the image reads: Rachel Wong. University of Tasmania. Studying: PhD in benthic ecology. Interested in: organisms that live on or in the seafloor.
    • Text is seen on a plain background, reading: “I'm really excited to go down there [Tasman Fracture Marine Park].
“I've seen the images and what the seafloor looks like. But to be able to go there and to see it in real time, to understand some of the operational constraints that went into collecting my data, I would gain a much better appreciation the next time I write a research proposal.”

    New ammo in the fight against Fall Armyworm. 🐛 Fall Armyworm is a serious insect pest in food and fibre crops. It's native to tropical parts of the Americas, but has been wreaking havoc in Australia since 2020. Different populations carry different genes for insecticide resistance. So it's exciting to find native fungi and bacteria which could offer local solutions in the future. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/g3_fbuTr

Could native Australian fungi and bacteria be a solution to this serious crop pest?"

    New research reveals major vulnerabilities in deepfake detectors. 🤖 We partnered with Sungkyunkwan University (성균관대학교) to test 16 major deepfake detectors and found that none could reliably identify real-world deepfakes. As AI-generated content becomes more advanced, we urgently need better detection methods. To help address this, the research team has created a new framework to strengthen detection models and fight misinformation. Read the story: https://lnkd.in/g_veemNR

    • Text: Can you tell which of these photos are AI-generated?
Many deepfake detectors can’t.
