  • UNSW graduate develops satellite circuit board

    University of New South Wales (UNSW) engineering graduate, Thomas Cooney, has developed a circuit board designed to process radar signals for an Australian satellite that will monitor water resources.

  • UNSW engineers create low cost solar silicon

    Engineers at the University of New South Wales have developed a way to dramatically improve the quality of low-grade silicon to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar panels.

  • Scientists demonstrate key component of quantum machine

    Mass production of incredibly powerful quantum computers may be only 10 years away thanks to researchers at the University of New South Wales who have demonstrated a quantum bit based on the nucleus of a single atom in silicon.

  • UNSW targeted by hackers

    The University of NSW (UNSW) has confirmed that it was subjected to a number of intrusion attacks against its servers by unidentified hackers during December 2012 and January 2013.

  • Laser prototype improves bomb detection

    Scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a prototype laser device capable of detecting tiny traces of explosive vapour, an invention that has the potential to put bomb sniffer dogs out of a job.

  • UNSW extends smart grid course

    The University of New South Wales (UNSW) has added an extra session of its newly introduced smart grid short course in an effort to build as skills base of engineers in an area of increasing demand.

  • Five minutes with YouTube educator Dr Chris Tisdell

    Using YouTube to pioneer a new avenue of digital learning, Dr Chris Tisdell from the University of New South Wales’ (UNSW) School of Mathematics and Statistics has recently been approached by YouTube to become an official ‘Partner in Education’.

  • UNSW reassures reliability to users after outages

    The University of New South Wales has sought to reassure students of its reliability, after its [[ARTNID:359096|domain name registration expired, resulting in outages|NEW]] in all external-facing UNSW websites and email bounce backs.

  • Aussie researchers take major step toward quantum computing

    Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Australia have created a transistor using quantum dots, 10 times smaller than traditional transistors used in today's computer chips, according to IEEE Spectrum. The quantum dots, when working together in large groups, may allow for quantum computing. Similar studies have been done with few quantum dots in laboratories, with technology that takes up an entire room, but that technology was limited and was only able to connect a limited number of quantum dots--that is, until now.

  • Home grown eMed app gets Web 2.0 refresh

    The University of NSW Faculty of Medicine has developed an in-house student management system, dubbed eMed, which has remained cost competitive with commercial software for seven years and is now being extended into the Web 2.0 paradigm.
