    Data61 develop ‘voice liveness detection’ to protect against voice spoofing attacks

    Researchers Data61, the digital specialist arm of CSIRO, have developed a new technique to protect consumers from voice spoofing attacks.  Voice assistants provide consumers with great conveniences like playing music, controlling our smart homes, to shopping online, make phone calls and sending messages. Unfortunately, those conveniences, often come with a risk. Fraudsters can record a person’s voice for voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google...

    CSIRO creates innovative new RAC cladding that can withstand 1000°C

    CSIRO has developed a new lightweight, fire-resistant cladding that can withstand temperatures of more than 1000°C. This new material has an opportunity to change the face of ships around the world, creating advanced manufacturing jobs in Tasmania and reducing carbon emissions. The material, developed in collaboration with Tasmanian small business, CBG Systems, has already been installed on two new ships and used to replace cladding...

    Early-stage validation of quantum computing chip viability by Aussie small-cap

    Aussie company Archer Materials Limited has reached a significant milestone in developing its 12CQ technology that aims to build a room-temperature quantum computing qubit processor. Archer is one of very few companies globally that provides investors a direct, on-market opportunity to invest in quantum computing technology. Conductivity measurements on single qubit components were carried out by Archer staff using conductive atomic force microscopy that was...

    Celebrating the achievements of girls and women in science on Feb 11th

    The 11th of February is the United Nations’ International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Award-winning Zoologist and Venomologist Dr Jordan Debono wants more girls and women to make their mark in science. While the list of international days has definitely been abused, this is one that's actually really important and really important to me personally with a 20 month old daughter, who...

    Aussie researcher spent 5 months with Amazon Robotics

    Robotics one of the hottest industries right now and its something Australians need to stay on top of, to compete for the jobs of tomorrow - programming them. Doug Morrison is a 28yo Aussie who had the opportunity to spend 5 months at Amazon Robotics in Berlin (November 2018 – March 2019). The PHD researcher works in the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision’s QUT-based...

    Melbourne-based mapping company launches “WaterView” autonomous sub at CEBIT 2019

    This week, one of Australia's largest technology conferences is happening in Sydney. Melbourne-based UAM Tec (Underwater Autonomous Mapping Technology) used CEBIT 2019 as the launch platform for its first product. That product is an underwater submarine that can autonomously map the world’s oceans, lakes, and waterways. In many ways, this is the underwater equivalent of “Google Maps Street View” which they call “WaterView”. UAM Tec’s...

    Melbourne protesters should understand you’re blocking innovation that can help the planet. CSIRO’s SENSEI improves groundwater monitoring

    CSIRO have developed a new groundwater sensor system that will make environmental monitoring faster, more reliable and less labour intensive for the resources industry. CSIRO is now looking for partners to bring the technology to market. A prototype unit will be on display at the International Mining and Resources Conference in Melbourne this week, you know, the one with all the protests. Many...
