The random nature of genetic mutation implies evolution is largely unpredictable. But recent research suggests this may not be entirely so, with interactions between genes playing a bigger role than expected in determining how a genome changes.

It’s known that some areas of the genome are more likely to be mutable than others, but a new study now suggests a species’ evolutionary history may play a role in making mutations more predictable too.

“The implications of this research are nothing short of revolutionary,” says University of Nottingham evolutionary biologist James McInerney.

The Vision Pro augmented reality device goes on sale Friday. Don’t expect Apple to host a splashy event to promote it.

In the future Biotechnology may allows us repair, modify, or augment humans, but how will this be done? What will these technologies look like and should we embrace them?

A new photonic radar system has been tested on cane toads by scientists at Sydney Nano and the School of Physics. It delivers contactless, high-definition detection of vital signs and could be developed for use in ICUs, aged-care facilities and for people with sleep apnoea or infants with breathing concerns.

An international collaboration, led by Macquarie University scientists, has introduced a new quantum optics technique that can provide unprecedented access to the fundamental properties of light-matter interactions in semiconductors.

The research, published Jan. 15 in the journal Nature Physics, uses a novel spectroscopic technique to explore interactions between photons and electrons at the quantum scale.

Professor Thomas Volz, co-author of the study and research group leader at Macquarie University’s School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, says the work has the potential to drive a breakthrough in the global quest for accessible quantum photonic technologies.

A new Cybertruck wrap was just seen and this time, it’s a high gloss metallic red wrap that makes the Cybertruck look like it was made from inside a volcano. This is the most stunning wrap yet.
