Webb Has Arrived Successfully at L2
Universe Today - Report by Nancy Atkinson It’s really happening. The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully reached its orbital destination in space, 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from Earth. A final 5-minute thruster firing on January 24, 2022 put JWST in its...
Microbially produced fibers: stronger than steel, tougher than Kevlar
Spider silk is said to be one of the strongest, toughest materials on the Earth. Now engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have designed amyloid silk hybrid proteins and produced them in engineered bacteria. The resulting fibers are stronger and tougher than...
Nanobubbles a pathway to better medical devices
Sydney Nano scientists witness spontaneous nanobubble formation Tiny gas bubbles could help reduce drag in small medical devices, university scientists have found. Drag can lead to clogging and damage biological samples, so this discovery could pave the way to more...
The Secret Language of Cells
Dr Jon Lieff, MD, is a neuropsychiatrist with a BA in Mathematics from Yale University and an MD from Harvard Medical School. He pioneered the creation of integrated treatment units that focus on complex patients with combined medical, psychiatric, and neurological...
How robots learn to hike
ETH Zurich researchers led by Marco Hutter have developed a new control approach that enables a legged robot, called ANYmal, to move quickly and robustly over difficult terrain. Thanks to machine learning, the robot can combine its visual perception of the environment...

Peter Corke: Australian Robotic Vision from Dahlitz Media | Perfekt Studios on Vimeo. This biography of Australian roboticist, distinguished professor Peter Corke, follows the development of robotics through the career of this remarkable pioneer and of his colleagues...
Autism
Autism from Dahlitz Media | Perfekt Studios on Vimeo. Episode 2 of The Science of Us documentaries looks at autism. With input from autistic therapists, psychologists, Temple Grandin and Stephen Porges, we learn about the nature and treatment for this condition. For...
The Gut-Brain Axis
The Gut-Brain Axis from Dahlitz Media | Perfekt Studios on Vimeo. Join us as we talk with leading researchers, clinical scientists and health practitioners about the extraordinary world within, and the connections between our gut and our brain. We explore the...
Swarm of autonomous tiny drones can localize gas leaks
When there is a gas leak in a large building or at an industrial site, human firefighters currently need to go in with gas sensing instruments. Finding the gas leak may take considerable time, while they are risking their lives. Researchers from TU Delft (the...
Move over CRISPR, the retrons are coming
New gene editing technique enables millions of genetic experiments to be performed simultaneously By Lindsay Brownell (BOSTON) — While the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has become the poster child for innovation in synthetic biology, it has some major limitations....
Let there be light! New tech for night vision
Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have developed new technology that allows people to see clearly in the dark, revolutionising night-vision. The first-of-its-kind thin film, described in a new article published in Advanced Photonics, is...
Australian researchers create quantum microscope that can see the impossible
In a major scientific leap, University of Queensland researchers have created a quantum microscope that can reveal biological structures that would otherwise be impossible to see. This paves the way for applications in biotechnology, and could extend far beyond this...
Valiant Space Receives $200,000 Australian Space Agency Grant
Valiant Space has been awarded a $200,000 grant as part of the Australian Government’s Moon to Mars initiative, administered through the Australian Space Agency. The Demonstrator Feasibility grant will allow the company to develop Australia’s first in-space chemical...

Cloud Computing Expands Brain Sciences
Leading neuroscientist collaborates with TACC to democratize the field, plan infrastructure People often think about human behavior in terms of what is happening in the present—reading a newspaper, driving a car, or catching a football. But other dimensions of...
Could all your digital photos be stored as DNA?
A technique for labeling and retrieving DNA data files from a large pool could help make DNA data storage feasible. On Earth right now, there are about 10 trillion gigabytes of digital data, and every day, humans produce emails, photos, tweets, and other digital files...
Lyro Robotics Gets Packing!
We (the Perfekt Studios arm of our company) recently did a video shoot for Brisbane local robotics company Lyro Robotics and their picking and packing robotic system. Using and advanced vision system developed by the group, Lyro Robotics are aiming at industry where...
Helpful, engineered ‘living’ machines in the future?
Engineered, autonomous machines combined with artificial intelligence have long been a staple of science fiction, and often in the role of villain like the Cylons in the "Battlestar Galactica" reboot, creatures composed of biological and engineered materials. But what...
