CSIRO's Smart Health Checks is Bringing Conversations Back to CareHealthcare interoperability is seen as a back-office challenge and it is rarely spoken about as a benefit to clinicians. But what if it was? Could it help accelerate initiatives? An initiative in Australia is doing just that - improving data exchange to reduce screen time so that clinicians can focus more on conversations with patients. Healthcare IT Today sat down with Kirsty Maunder, Senior Business Analyst at CSIRO's Australian e-Health Research Centre. She explains how their Smart Health Checks initiative uses Smart on FHIR technology to pre-populate clinical forms and return providers to natural conversations with patients. You will discover how bidirectional data write-back stops transcription errors and why building from frontline clinical frustrations drives genuine technology adoption.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded into our digital frontier only a few years ago and is changing the world at an unprecedented rate, raising both hopes and concerns for the future. The debate around the dangers and opportunities offered by AI is complex, and because the rate of innovation is relentless, the changes flooding the market are also unpredictable. There are fears that AI will lead to loss of jobs, increased security risks and the spread of fake news.#sbsaudiopodcastArtificial intelligence (AI) has exploded into our digital frontier only a few years ago and is changing the world at an unprecedented rate, raising both hopes and concerns for the future. The debate around the dangers and opportunities offered by AI is complex, and because the rate of innovation is relentless, the changes flooding the market are also unpredictable. There are fears that AI will lead to loss of jobs, increased security risks and the spread of fake news.Some believe we need to be more careful about who controls this powerful technology, and there is an apparent race between the US and China for domination in this space. In a new series, we'll be exploring this hotly debated topic, as we speak to various experts, chief executives and lawmakers about the dangers and opportunities offered by artificial intelligence. In this episode, we are talking to two deeply learned people who bring different perspectives to this complex conversation: Yochai Glick, who can be described as a Tech-Philosopher, and Professor Ralph Bayer, an economist from Flinders University. We discuss ethics, developments, threats and opportunities in the fast-moving world of AI.Professor Ralph Bayer is a Professor of Economics at the University of Adelaide and the Director of AdLab, the university's laboratory for experimental economics. His research interests include behavioural and experimental economics – specifically, the decision-making processes of individuals and organisations, and the ways that incentives can be used to influence those decisions. This work has important implications for how humans interact with AI, including the impact that new technologies have on employment.Yochai Glick is originally from Israel and has been in Australia for over three and a half decades, with extensive experience across industry and utilities- energy, water, and transport. His experience includes participation in energy regulatory committees, collaboration with the CSIRO, director positions in industry associations, startups, and board advisory roles in startup accelerators. He was a Principal Solution Architect at various companies, including Ericsson. His area of passion and expertise is the relationship between technology, economics, and society, with a special focus on resource efficiency and sustainability. 

Feral cats are one of the biggest threats to Australia's native wildlife, having contributed to the extinction of at least 20 mammal species. In this interview, the Australian Wildlife Conservancy explains how researchers are tackling the problem through habitat restoration, targeted control programs and cutting-edge genetic research. The discussion also explores why Australia's wildlife is especially vulnerable to cats, the role of pet cats in wildlife decline, and why experts remain hopeful that many threatened species can recover. Paulien Roessink from SBS Dutch is speaking to Joey Clarke from the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.In this interview, the Australian Wildlife Conservancy explains how researchers are tackling the problem of feral cats and their impact on native wildlife. These are the main points of the interview:Feral cats are a major driver of Australia's extinction crisisCats have spread across more than 99% of Australia and have played a significant role in the extinction of at least 20 native mammal species, contributing to Australia's record as the world's worst country for mammal extinctions.Cats have a broader impact than foxesWhile foxes are also a serious threat, cats occupy a much larger range across Australia, including areas where foxes are absent. Together, cats and foxes have devastated populations of small and medium-sized native mammals such as bandicoots, bettongs and hopping mice.Researchers are testing multiple ways to control feral catsThe Australian Wildlife Conservancy is combining traditional methods such as fenced wildlife sanctuaries, baiting, trapping and shooting with habitat management strategies, including improved fire regimes and removing feral herbivores to make landscapes safer for native species.Genetic research could offer a future breakthroughIn partnership with CSIRO, researchers are mapping feral cat genomes to better understand population movements and explore the long-term possibility of genetic biocontrol technologies that could reduce cat populations over generations.Protecting wildlife and pets can go hand in handThe interview highlights that free-roaming domestic cats also have a significant impact on wildlife. Keeping pet cats contained not only protects native animals but can also safeguard cats from threats such as bird flu and other environmental risks.

No longer with frost leave Aussie wheat crops - and their farmers - 'fried'. The CSIRO has developed a new variety - Hurdle - which not only has high yields, but can also be used for ha. It comes as properties in WA's southern and eastern Wheatbelt are increasingly exposed to frost. Rural Reporter Gabrielle Hodson caught up with team leader Greg Rebetzki.

Most Australians buy crumbed chicken from the supermarket regularly. Very few have any idea that some of those products contain as little as 28% actual chicken. This week Leanne and Susie go through every major supermarket crumbed chicken product on the Australian market, from Woolworths and Coles to Aldi and the big brands like Ingham's and Steggles, and rank them by actual chicken content. The results are genuinely surprising, and not always in the way you would expect. Then they cover new CSIRO research on protein needs for women in the menopausal transition, and the specific data point that explains why so many women are eating well but still not seeing the results they are looking for. In this episode: Every major supermarket crumbed chicken product ranked by percentage of actual chicken: the Woolworths products that come out on top, the Coles products that disappoint, the Aldi chicken schnitzel with only 28% chicken, and why the price you pay does not predict the quality you get Why Ingham's and Steggles crumbed products consistently fall short, and the one Steggles product Susie does recommend that is almost impossible to find outside of Costco Why crumbing chicken at home is always the better nutritional choice, what to use instead of standard supermarket breadcrumbs, and Susie's Bergen soy linseed crumb method The difference between a thin crust and a thick batter schnitzel and why it matters for the chicken percentage you are actually getting New CSIRO analysis of over 1,300 women in midlife: why most women in the menopausal transition are falling 35 grams short of optimal daily protein intake, what 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight looks like in practice, and why breakfast and lunch are where women consistently fall short Why swapping dairy milk for oat milk and Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt can quietly remove 20 or more grams of protein from your day without you noticing The Alinas Bakehouse Seeded Brown Rice Gluten-Free Crackers reviewed: 52% seeds, five clean ingredients, almost three grams of fiber per serve, and why Susie is giving them five out of five Is it better to exercise in two 15-minute sessions or one 30-minute session?

Today's episode — The Weekend Wrap, Saturday 12 September 2026: OUR LEAD: A SMALLER MERCURY Mercury has been contracting for four and a half billion years as its huge iron core cools, and it writes the record on its own surface — in long lobe-fronted cliffs called lobate scarps, where one slab of crust has ridden up over another. Add up all that shortening and you get the total contraction. The trouble was that the surface record always gave a smaller number than thermal models predicted. New work led by Gaku Nishiyama at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin, published in Geophysical Research Letters and released by the American Geophysical Union on 10 September, explains the gap — and the explanation is beautifully simple. Impact debris buries the cliffs. Using MESSENGER imagery reworked with stereophotogrammetry, the team showed that the rougher the terrain, the fewer shortening structures you can find per unit area. Since faults don't know what the surface above them looks like, that correlation isn't geology — it's a detection limit. Correct for it and Mercury's total loss of diameter rises by 10–30%, from a range topping out near 16 km to as much as 23 km. That points to a larger metal core, fewer light elements in it, or a hotter start — and it closes the long-standing mismatch with the physics. BepiColombo is about ten weeks from gravity capture at Mercury, carrying a far better laser altimeter and a much less eccentric orbit. If Nishiyama is right, it should find the missing small scarps in exactly the rough ground where today's maps look suspiciously empty. Some of that data will come home through ESA's New Norcia station in Western Australia, run in partnership with CSIRO. THE WEEK THAT WAS ·         Monday — Isar Aerospace's Spectrum reached orbit from Andøya Spaceport in Norway on 5 September, the first vehicle ever to do it from Western European soil, carrying five university cubesats. ·         Tuesday — giant-impact simulations including temperature-dependent rock strength can produce an intact Moon in about five hours rather than a slowly accreting debris disc. A sensitivity result, not a new origin story. ·         Wednesday — Hubble and Webb together found 27 previously unknown trans-Neptunian objects down to about 5 km, and the small ones keep the colours of their birth population rather than looking like collision fragments. ·         Thursday — 109 localised fast radio bursts were used to measure how far galactic feedback has smoothed the clumpiness of matter, finding more cool gas in big haloes than X-ray surveys see. ·         Friday — population synthesis suggests magnetars are roughly half of all neutron stars at birth, not one in a hundred, which doubles the Galactic supernova rate and makes magnetar central engines affordable. ALSO IN THIS EPISODE ·         The Sun's superflare potential — new work from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research with the University of Colorado, released 10 September. Scaling the 300 strongest modern solar flares against the size of their active regions, then applying that relation to the giant sunspot group of 1947 — the largest in four centuries of observation — gives a region with enough stored magnetic energy to power a superflare. Potential, not prediction: the caveats are covered properly on air. ·         Rocket Lab has filed a protest with the US Government Accountability Office over NASA's ~$700M Mars Telecommunications Network award to Blue Origin, on eligibility and technical-evaluation grounds. A GAO decision is due around mid-December. ·         Starship Flight 14 has slipped to no earlier than 18 September — and the tower catch of the ship is deferred to a later flight, which corrects how we framed it earlier this month. SKYWATCH — BOTH HEMISPHERES ·         The Moon and Venus about half a degree apart in front of Spica on the evenings of 13–14 September — Southern Hemisphere observers get the better geometry. ·         Venus reaches greatest brilliancy on 18 September at magnitude −4.8. ·         SN 2026aaiv, a Type Ia supernova in NGC 7331 in Pegasus, around magnitude 12 — the week's best observing target, and far easier from North America than from Sydney. ·         Saturn building towards its 4 October opposition, with Dione and Tethys events in the small hours for northern telescope owners. ·         Mars passing 6° south of Pollux pre-dawn on 18 September. ·         The zodiacal light — an evening object in the west from the Southern Hemisphere, a pre-dawn object in the east from the Northern. Best chance until early October. ·         Eye safety: never point binoculars or a telescope near the Sun when hunting daylight Venus or twilight Mercury. Solar filters must be certified to ISO 12312-2, fitted over the front of the instrument, and inspected every time.

Critical Chromium: From Field Samples to Space Technology: How Do We Secure Supply?Exploring for critical chromium, from the ground up (to space!)Aerospace alloys, industrial protective coatings, stainless steel - chromium is literally everywhere in critical technology and in our kitchens, yet global supplies are stretched. So how do you hunt for chromium deposits? In this episode we journey through the world of chromium and find the answer takes us from dusty fieldwork in Odisha, India, to satellites reading rocks from orbit.We explore the chromium: from the mantle rocks of India collected during some incredible fieldwork, to the Mars rover-equivalent technology used to analyze it, to space-based remote sensing that helps us locate new deposits. And we're doing it alongside Anwesha Nasreen, research student from Adelaide University, who ventured into Odisha to collect foundational field samples, and Dr Raphael Baumgartner from CSIRO, who's using space-age analytical techniques to understand how chromium hides in plain sight.This is the story of how modern exploration works: starting with boots on the ground, moving to cutting-edge labs, and finishing with eyes in the sky. It's a great story of fieldwork, mentorship, and the systematic science that connects ground to orbit.This episode:

New data from the CSIRO reveals that protein can actually help women maintain a health weight during menopause. In this this edition of The Conversation we speak with the researcher about the study and how it is that eating more protein can actually assist in weight loss.Also in this edition, the importance of finding the right shoe size, if you can. Plus, soccer great Lionel Messi announces his retirement from playing internationally, we talk about his legacy and why he could be considered the greatest of all time.

Coffee with Samso — with Dr Tobias Schlegel, Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO We're back at Samso HQ at the University Club, on the UWA campus in Crawley, and this is a conversation that has been a few years in the making. I first came across Tobias Schlegel at an IOCG workshop in Adelaide. He was up the front talking about how these deposits actually form, and I remember thinking, I need to talk to that guy. It has taken two or three years, but here we are. Tobias is a Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO, where he has spent close to seven years, and he has been working on Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) systems since around 2009 — including his doctoral work on Prominent Hill. If you want someone who has spent well over a decade staring at the rocks behind Australia's most important copper story, he is the man. "Geochemistry Isn't the Silver Bullet" Why this conversation matters Copper is on everyone's lips. Investors want to know where the next tonne is coming from. And in Australia, the answer keeps pointing back to IOCGs. Globally, porphyries are the elephant in the room — Tobias puts them at roughly 60% of world copper supply. But IOCGs are where Australia lives. In South Australia and Queensland, they are the dominant copper producer. And they carry a quiet advantage: where porphyries typically run somewhere around 0.4–0.6% copper, IOCGs tend to scrape around 1%, particularly the hematite-dominated ones. When you are exploring undercover — as we increasingly are in this country — that grade difference matters. The thing that stopped me in my tracks Here is the part of the conversation that I keep coming back to. We spend our entire exploration lives assaying for metals. Copper. Gold. Rare earths. That's what we want to find, so that's what we measure. Tobias's point is that the metals are only half the story. Metals travel in a fluid as cations — copper plus, iron two plus. But a fluid cannot just dump cations into a rock and walk away. Something has to balance the charge. So the anions come along too: chlorine, hydroxide, sulfur, phosphate. And when that fluid hits the rock, it doesn't only deposit metal — it also rebuilds the mineralogy, turning feldspars into hydrous minerals like chlorite and muscovite. You may have thirty metals sloshing around in the system. But they are charge-balanced by a handful of anions. And as Tobias puts it, the signature of the anions is sometimes far clearer than the signature of the metals. Which means the alteration mineralogy can be telling you something your assay sheet simply cannot. From geochemistry to mineralogy This is why, over the last five or six years, Tobias has drifted away from whole-rock geochemistry and towards mineralogy — measuring surface chemistry with automated SEM-based systems and translating it into minerals, sample by sample, down a drill hole. What emerges is not the presence or absence of some magic indicator mineral in a single sample. It is the systematic change in mineral abundance through space. And it tends to behave predictably: broadly speaking, the bigger and more intense the alteration zone, the better the copper intersection at the end of it. He is careful — and I respect him for it — not to sell this as a silver bullet. Geochemistry is still the method of choice, still the thing companies use to publish a resource, and it works especially well in homogeneous host rocks like granites. But when the host rock gets messy, and when the first hole finds smoke rather than fire, this is where the toolbox needs to get deeper. What else we covered Why IOCGs are complex — but not as chaotic as they look. Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Oak Dam West sit in completely different host rocks, of different ages, yet the alteration zoning tells a strikingly similar story: a hematite-quartz core, with the copper wrapped around it. Hematite versus magnetite. Why the hematite-dominated systems in South Australia carry the chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite everyone wants, while magnetite-dominated systems tend to run lower grade with more pyrite. The breccia debate. Were these bodies blown apart, or are they structural jogs that later became plumbing for mineralising fluids? At Prominent Hill, Tobias argues the breccia was there first. Rare earths as a clue. The unusual lanthanum and cerium signature in South Australian IOCGs, and cerium's role in the magnetite-to-hematite transformation. The carbonatite question. With the Arunta throwing up hybrids, is there a real link between carbonatites and IOCGs? The idea has been around for about 25 years. Work at Carrapateena with the Geological Survey of South Australia shows carbonates replacing chlorite at depth — and the copper grade going up where they do. A hint, Tobias says, not a proven link. AI in exploration. A refreshingly honest answer, and a warning worth writing on the wall: if we feed the system what we already know, we will tend to find what we already know. Exploration is not a data-rich space. Advice for the next generation. Stay curious. The learning doesn't stop at graduation. The takeaway Geochemistry is not just about the element itself. It's about how that element moves through the system, and what it leaves behind on the way. The assay tells you what arrived. The mineralogy tells you how it got there — and, if you read it properly, which way to point the next hole. And if you're stuck? Tobias's parting thought was simple: reach out. CSIRO, the universities, the geological surveys — they are there to help industry solve exactly these problems. Grab a coffee. This one is worth your time.

Critical Resources managing director Tim Wither talked with Proactive about the company's collaboration with CSIRO to optimise and scale its dry supersonic deposition (DSD) battery manufacturing technology. Wither said the CSIRO collaboration provides further validation of work already undertaken with the South Dakota School of Mines in the US and will support the next phase of Critical Resources' DSD and battery development programs. He explained that conventional lithium battery manufacturing uses a wet slurry containing polymer binders and solvents, which is coated onto foil and dried in high-temperature ovens. By contrast, the DSD process deposits battery material in a single dry step to form a dense layer, with Wither highlighting the potential manufacturing advantages as “no solvents, no binders and no ovens.” Following peer review of the company's work in July, Wither said the next challenge was scaling the technology. CSIRO will apply advanced digital modelling to investigate the DSD process, including its operating window, the causes of defects and how the process behaves at higher volumes. The modelling will assess 14 different parameters and is expected to provide technical recommendations for potential optimisation. Wither also discussed battery testing underway in the US, where the company has progressed from coin cells to full-format pouch cells. Testing of those cells is continuing, with results expected to be reported after the ongoing cycling program. Looking ahead, Critical Resources plans to continue physical DSD testing while progressing its solid-state electrolyte program. Wither said successful integration of solid-state electrolytes into the DSD process would represent an important development toward producing a full-format cell for further testing and eventual independent evaluation.

On Sunday 23 August, Dr Kim Reid from the University of Melbourne spoke to 3CR's Out of the Blue presenter Sabrina about El Niño, which is a climate pattern happening now. Dr. Reid explained to listeners what El Niño means and how it affects weather patterns over the globe, not just Australia. She described this phenomenon in detail and shed some light on popular headlines. Jed Pica is a Filipino non-binary lesbian and General Secretary of Migrante Australia, an alliance of grassroots migrants organisations of Filipinos and their families in so-called Australia. Jed joined us to speak about the newly launched campaign Laban Migrante, fighting against the exploitation of migrant workers and advocating for their rights and welfare. They also announced an upcoming fundraising event held on Friday 28 August at Misfits Bar in Footscray.  Dr Sophie Rudolph is a Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne. She has been on the NTEU University of Melbourne branch committee at the University of Melbourne for approximately 8 years and has been actively involved in two rounds of Enterprise Bargaining negotiations. Sophie spoke to us about the NTEU University of Melbourne strike action on Thursday 27 August as part of the enterprise bargaining that first commenced last November. There will be a rally at 12 pm at the John Medley Building as well as BBQ and live music at South Lawn.  Mel Fisher, spokesperson from the Anti-Poverty Network South Australia, joined the show to discuss the threat of the standards of energy efficiency levels in homes being reduced for those with lower incomes, raising the cost of living particularly within a changing climate. A report from the CSIRO has revealed that Australian homes are some of the most expensive to heat or cool and households who live in 1.7 star homes pay more than 6 times in energy bills than those living in energy efficient homes. The report has found this affects those with lower incomes and renters higher. On Wednesday 12 August, at the rally to oppose the 'No Air in Prison' Bill, Karen Fletcher (Executive Officer of Flat Out Inc) spoke out against the mass incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, as well as the mistreatment of people with disabilities and are victim-survivors of domestic violence in prison. In her speech, she emphasised the importance of understanding the root causes of issues impacting communities and fighting against this and other harmful bills. She was introduced by Rally MC Maggie Munn,  First Nations Justice Director at the Human Rights Law Centre.CW: Please note that in the following excerpt, Karen names several First Nations women who have died in custody.

The thought of eating creepy crawlies isn't always appealing, but it's been happening across the world for tens of thousands of years. According to the CSIRO insects are currently eaten by two billion people from 130 countries. So, should we be eating more here in Australia? It was a question presented as part of National Science Week, with three insect species approved for commercial human consumption. To find out how these tiny critters could improve the bigger picture, including our circular economy, The Wire spoke with Kerry Wilkinson, Professor of Oenology.

Seamounts are underwater mountains that rise at least 1,000 meters from the seafloor without breaking the surface, and they punch far above their weight biologically. Topographic upwelling pulls cold, nutrient-rich water up their slopes, fueling plankton blooms that draw fish, sharks, seabirds, and marine mammals, while their rocky surfaces give slow-growing corals and sponges a rare hard place to root in an otherwise soft-sediment deep sea. Roughly one in five seamount species are endemic, found nowhere else on Earth, which is why scientists call them oases in the deep sea. That's exactly what made a pair of Australian studies so consequential. In 1997, researchers led by Tony Koslow and Karen Gowlett-Holmes of CSIRO Marine Research surveyed seamounts south of Tasmania to test whether bottom trawling for orange roughy was damaging habitat that had taken centuries to form, and whether a proposed marine reserve would actually protect it. What they found on heavily fished seamounts, compared to lightly fished or untouched ones, was stark: stripped reef, collapsed biomass, and far fewer species per sample. A 2009 follow-up study by Althaus and colleagues went further, analyzing tens of thousands of video frames and photos across 25 seamounts, and found coral cover reduced by roughly two orders of magnitude on trawled sites, with no sign of recovery even five years after trawling stopped. Those findings are part of what pushed Matthew Gianni, a former deep-sea fisherman, to help found the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition and push for international protections against high seas bottom trawling. This episode walks through what seamounts are, what the research actually found, and why damage this far down might be effectively permanent on any timescale that matters to us. Takeaways: Seamounts are volcanic underwater mountains that drive upwelling, concentrate biodiversity, and host high rates of endemic species found nowhere else. Bottom trawling for species like orange roughy drags heavy gear across seamount slopes, destroying coral and sponge habitat that can take centuries to build. A 1997 CSIRO-led survey south of Tasmania found dramatically lower biomass and species richness on heavily trawled seamounts compared to lightly fished or untouched ones. A 2009 follow-up study found roughly a hundredfold decline in coral cover on trawled seamounts, with no clear sign of recovery five years after trawling stopped. Because this damage happens far below the surface and outside any sunlight or recreational diving range, it's often invisible until a dedicated scientific survey documents it. This research helped inspire the founding of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition and international efforts to restrict high seas bottom trawling.

University students from across Australia are getting the chance to take their marine science studies out to sea as part of a unique CSIRO training program. The annual CAPSTAN program gives students hands-on experience aboard the research vessel Investigator, Australia’s dedicated ocean research vessel, as they learn about marine science and take part in real research. Curtin University marine science student Te Huika Mason was one of the students who recently travelled from Perth to Hobart, gaining practical experience and an insight into life on a research vessel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Electric vehicles are the future. But here's the problem: India's lithium demand is skyrocketing, but the local supply is nearly zero. Enter pegmatites: fancy, crystal-studded rocks hiding in the Rajasthan desert that might just hold the key to India's battery revolution.Today we're back with Dr Louise Schoneveld and Dr Mario Iglesias-Martinez from CSIRO to tell the complete story of the CSIRO's Australia-India research partnership on critical metals, centering here on lithium exploration. And boy we cover it all. From fieldwork in India's desert landscape to the analytical work happening in Western Australian laboratories, it's a tale involving unexpected geological encounters, shepherd guides, sparkly purple minerals, and the kind of detective work that makes the journey from field to lab the best kind of science.From pegmatite formation theory (yes, there's a debate, of course!) to the geochemistry that helps you sort the lithium-rich rocks from lithium-poor ones, this episode digs into what happens when you find a promising rock in Rajasthan and bring it home to Australia for detailed analysis, and its all part of a larger collaboration to tackle a global supply chain challenge.

El riego deficitario controlado es una estrategia agronómica que aplica agua por debajo del requerimiento óptimo del cultivo en ventanas específicas del ciclo fenológico, sin afectar de forma significativa el rendimiento final. La técnica nació en Australia a mediados de los años noventa, desarrollada por la Universidad de Adelaida junto con el CSIRO para viñedos comerciales.El fundamento fisiológico está en la respuesta hormonal de la planta al estrés hídrico moderado. El ácido abscísico cierra parcialmente los estomas y reduce el crecimiento vegetativo, lo que concentra azúcares, polifenoles y compuestos aromáticos en frutos de vid, olivo, almendro, cítricos, tomate y frutales de hueso.Aplicar esta práctica sin monitoreo fisiológico real es el error más frecuente entre productores. Sensores de humedad, sondas de potencial hídrico foliar y cámaras de presión permiten identificar el momento exacto de restricción, evitando pérdidas de calibre o de cuadre de fruto por estrés no controlado.Variantes como el secado parcial de raíces alternan el riego entre mitades del sistema radicular, manteniendo la señal de estrés sin sacrificar la fotosíntesis completa de la planta. Esta variante fue reconocida entre las innovaciones tecnológicas más relevantes del siglo veinte en Australia.Estudios en España, Chile, Argentina y Venezuela confirman beneficios similares en distintos climas y cultivos, desde vid mediterránea hasta maracuyá tropical, posicionando al riego deficitario controlado como herramienta central para la agricultura de precisión y el ahorro hídrico.Suscríbete a El noticiero del agro:https://blogagricultura.com/noticias/Escucha Agricultura Profesional:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZuOW2DhD7PK4SM33gtFWy?si=e33021063a114550--Créditos musicales:INTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-graham/53License code: 62TIV9S8Q1XCM65WOUTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: KUSUTAITXDLYUTHQ--Fuentes consultadas:Edwards, E.

When you connect wirelessly to anything, you have CSIRO to thank - they are the ones who invented Wi-Fi. But beyond the banknotes and wireless tech, Australia's national science agency is working on something equally important: methods to find the critical minerals that will power the future.Funded by the Australian Government, the India-Australia Critical Minerals Research Partnership ran from January 2023 to 30 June 2026, advancing sustainable and environmentally responsible critical minerals development for the benefit of both nations.As part of a special partnership between CSIRO and Wonder podcast, we sit down with Dr Louise Schoneveld and Dr Eric Romaneido from CSIRO's Mineral Resources Group and discuss this important multi-year research collaboration that they have been part of.From the dense forests of Meghalaya to the ancient weathered rocks of Odisha, this is the story of how science travels, how geology shapes exploration, and how Australia and India are building resilience in global supply chains. It's a love letter to fieldwork and the diverse, brilliant minds making modern minerals exploration smarter.In this episode:

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at the open marriages, late-night affairs and randy scientists surrounding Australia's Bogle-Chandler mystery...On New Year's Eve 1963, two lovers slipped away for a secret rendezvous on the banks of Sydney's Lane Cove River. By morning, renowned CSIRO physicist Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler—the wife of one of his colleagues—were dead. What began as an illicit affair quickly became one of Australia's most baffling unsolved mysteries. There were no obvious injuries, no murder weapon and no clear cause of death. Rumours of espionage, jealous spouses, poisoning and even Cold War conspiracies were flying around as investigators struggled to explain how two healthy adults could die on the muddy banks of the river after a clandestine romantic encounter. In this episode, Geordie & Michelle explore the scandal that shocked Australia, the social stigma surrounding adultery in the early 1960s and the forensic investigation that took decades to reach an extraordinary conclusion. Was it murder, a tragic accident or something so bizarre that almost no one considered it possible? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat Sam Neill's death, Anne Widdicombe and more on Eavesdroppin'.

On this episode of Technology & Security, Dr Miah Hammond-Errey speaks with Professor Jon Whittle, founding CEO of Goldilocks AI and professor at the University of Melbourne's Institute for Digital Innovation and AI. With nearly 30 years in AI spanning a technical lead role at NASA, founding the National AI Centre, and five years leading CSIRO's Data61, Jon brings a long view and the practical experience of having worked on these questions from inside government, research, and industry. The conversation opens with what AI sovereignty actually means across the full stack, from data centres and foundation models through to inference, applications and responsible AI, and why focusing only on data storage creates a false sense of security.The conversation moves to the economic and geopolitical case for Australia building its own foundation models, why the argument that we are too small and too far behind deserves more scrutiny, and how being cut off from models like Fable has made that conversation more urgent. Jon and Miah discuss the gap between personal productivity gains from AI and the organisational productivity gains that remain elusive, the dimensions that actually determine enterprise AI success (most of which have nothing to do with technology), and the leadership anti-patterns holding Australian companies back. This episode also covers the rise of Chinese models, the risk of ‘Uberization' of the Australian economy, what meaningful AI oversight requires from directors and boards, and why the conversation Jon hopes we are not still having in five years is the one we are having right now. Professor Jon Whittle is founding CEO of Goldilocks AI, professor at the University of Melbourne, and author of AI for Business. He is a former director of CSIRO's Data61 and founder of the National AI Centre.

John Anderson joins energy analyst Aidan Morrison and journalist Chris Uhlmann for a forensic examination of Australia's energy crisis. Together, they expose the broken promises behind the renewable transition, the CSIRO modelling built on figures no operating wind farm has achieved, and the legislative blunder that turned the New England Renewable Energy Zone into a multi-billion dollar infrastructure disaster. Drawing on international comparisons, primary documents, and on-the-ground testimony, the panel reveals how Australians were sold a false economic promise — and what the true cost to the nation's bills, industry, and security will be.Aidan Morrison is a leading researcher into Energy Systems and currently the Director of Energy Research at the Centre for Independent Studies. In 2023 he exposed how the famous CSIRO report “GenCost” excluded vast costs required to integrate and firm renewables by treating them as “sunk” costs. In 2024 he was amongst the strongest voices calling for nuclear energy in Australia and was a leading critic of the ‘Integrated System Plan' (or ISP): Australia's blue-print for a transition to an energy system dominated by wind and solar. Chris Uhlmann is a Walkley Award winning Australian journalist and news commentator. His career in the media spans over 35 years in radio, print and television. His latest documentary is The Real Cost of Net Zero: The shocking truth of the renewable energy push.

Aidan Morrison and Derek Bush join John for a frank conversation about Australia's cumbersome renewable energy transition, and the real costs being borne by the communities expected to host it. They make the case that rural Australians are being overrun by a policy conceived in cities and imposed on regional areas, exposing the considerable gap between the government's 2030 targets and what the national grid can realistically deliver.This is a timely warning that Australia's energy policy is being driven by political ambition rather than engineering reality, and that the consequences will be felt by every Australian as power bills continue to rise.Aidan Morrison is a leading researcher into Energy Systems and currently the Director of Energy Research at the Centre for Independent Studies.
