Congratulations to my dear friend & the outstanding UNSW quantum research team on this elegant & thought provoking exploration of quantum error detection.

What stands out to me is the strong connection with sustainable design theory. In both quantum systems & fields such as ecology or urban design, progress depends on more than what we already understand. It depends on our ability to recognise, detect and respond to the known unknowns that exist within complex systems. Building resilience means identifying small errors early before they cascade into larger outcomes.

A remarkable contribution and a fascinating glimpse into the future of science & innovation, reminding us that the future belongs to those who can navigate uncertainty.

A team of UNSW researchers has developed a new method to read out t...

I first visited the Cairngorms region in 2016 and was deeply impressed by the scale of long-term thinking already underway through and their 200-year vision for the recovery and maturation of old growth Scots Pine forest, helping safeguard species such as the Black Grouse.

At a time when much of the world remains focused on short-term returns, projects like this demonstrate that environmental restoration and long-term economic value are not mutually exclusive. Healthy ecosystems underpin tourism, water security, biodiversity, climate resilience, and future regional prosperity.

Ancient forest systems cannot simply be manufactured overnight. They require patience, stewardship, and the willingness to invest beyond our own lifetimes.

The foresight behind a multi-generational legacy project of this scale reflects an understanding that some of the greatest economic and cultural returns come from thinking in centuries rather than quarters.

After an unprecedented week in national politics, there was an equally momentous event for a man who has been the voice every Prime Minister listens to on election night since his internship at the ABC began in 1989. Here's to and all those like him who hold facts in the highest regard and approach their judgments with utmost care. Without Antony's call, how will we determine the winner?

Former Australian prime ministers across the political divide pay tribute to Antony Green, the ABC's chief elections analyst who presented his final election last night and will soon retire.

As a lifelong enthusiast of live music and the happiness they bring to everyone involved, it’s thrilling to witness this emerging concept that tackles rising living expenses by some major figures. If we don't provide upcoming musicians the opportunity to earn a fair income from their art, then prominent artists like and might be the last generation we ever experience in an intimate, dimly-lit venue.

Remarkable imagery is beginning to surface, showcasing the floodwaters in the Channel Country of southwestern Queensland as they gradually make their way toward Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre). The dynamic perspective from the website vividly illustrates the significant transformation that has occurred over the past month. This is one of the noticeable impacts of our ever-evolving climate, which we are all adapting to. It will be intriguing to observe in the coming months the influence this influx of water will have upon reaching its final destination.

Abundant rain in Queensland overfilled rivers, flooded towns, and submerged livestock grazing lands.

For several years, I have been a dedicated supporter of Madelaine's eggs located in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, Australia. What began as a homeschooling activity has blossomed into a successful free-range egg business under Madeline’s guidance. Now, the venture is expanding into pasture-raised turkeys. I strongly advocate for diversifying sustainable business models and believe that choosing a turkey for this Easter is a practical means of supporting innovative strategies to enhance land use in our country.

We are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting deposits for Easter turkeys! Each turkey will weigh between 3.5 and 5 kg when finished. The price is set at $37.50 per kilo. To place your order, simply put down a $100 deposit, and the remaining balance will be due upon pickup from The Farm or t...

Why do we exist? This age-old question isn't one that can be adequately answered in a brief, engaging post like this. However, I believe the efforts being made in Tasmania by at provide significant insight into addressing this profound inquiry.

In the middle of Tasmania sits a 5,000-hectare property once used for sheep grazing. But when the sheep farmers left, an unlikely buyer moved in.
