@scienceanu.bsky.socialSmall rover, big mission. This Space Week, we're celebrating the unveiling of Australia's first ever #lunar rover, Roo-ver. The countdown to Roo-ver's #moon landing in 2030 has begun and ANU researchers and facilities are pitching in π¦ www.instagram.com/p/DeLa7w3vc6B/

@hia-accelerates.bsky.socialReposted by @scienceanu.bsky.socialTesting memory chips at our ANU Space Irradiation Beamline for Academia Sinica and Taiwan Space Agency. It was a great opportunity for technical discussions and knowledge exchange. Happy to see how the HIAF-SIBL team supports space-related research from across the Asia-Pacific region.
@scienceanu.bsky.socialNASA called. ANU answered. Go behind the scenes as the ANU Quantum Optical Ground Station team connected to the Orion spacecraft on its journey around the Moon, providing fast and secure laser optical communication: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CKy... #STEM #ArtemisII #NASA #SpaceLasers #Quantum #ANU
@rami.spaceaustralia.comReposted by @scienceanu.bsky.socialSome really nice work going on at @scienceanu.bsky.social @ozgrav.bsky.social that will go towards upgrading the huge gravitational-wave detectors at @ligo.org
The researchers have had to coat the glass across the full beam splitters to within an uncertainty of ....

@scienceanu.bsky.socialUsing different versions of a gene is key to RNA evolution. The abundant modification m6A plays a central role in gene regulation. Researchers compared RNA across six mammals and one bird, finding that a small, conserved minority of versions drive most gene expression. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
