Accurate tsunami warning made possible by new algorithm; Australian scientists develop the Time Reverse Imaging ...
Scientists at the Australian National University have developed the Time Reverse Imaging Method that take real-time data from ocean sensors and then use it to look like what the tsunami looked like when it was born. The new algorithm enables scientists to pinpoint the tsunami source that in turn helps scientists in predicting the impact of the waves once they hit the shores. The new method is much more accurate than existing algorithms. Thus, using this new algorithm, scientists can warn people..>> view originalMars at tail-end of ice age that would have seen red planet covered in ice

University of College London (UCL) researchers have revealed that the Neolithic Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, was not difficult to build. The Stonehenge has long been a mystery. While many believe the site to be a ritualistic burial ground, scientists and people alike have long been baffled by the process the prehistoric Britons discovered to transport the huge bluestones some 140 miles from the Preseli Mountains in Wales to their final home in Wiltshire. They did not have any access to mod..>> view originalHumans becoming part cyborg: SA experts
Human evolution is blurring the line between man and machine but this doesn't mean people will turn into something out of a sci-fi movie, Adelaide researchers say.Pace makers, bionic ears and artificial limbs mean people are already part machine and will become more so as technological advances allow them to rely less on their own biology, University of Adelaide professor Maciej Henneberg says.The co-author of new book The Dynamic Human believes that in the future, society may need to redefine e..>> view originalThe CSIRO job cuts that never should've happened: the real cost
The unfortunate manner in which the latest phase of restructuring of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has played out has raised questions about Australia’s scientific capability and our ability to meet international responsibilities. Faced with a budget cut of A$115 million, some 275 staff have apparently been identified for redundancy (though the final number may be as high as 317). Many of them are scientists contributing to long-term sea, air and clim..>> view originalTrump reveals his terrifying plans
