A global team led by CSIRO has created the largest-ever map of cosmic magnetic fields by measuring light from nearly 4 million galaxies. The "SPICE_RACS" map, made possible by the ASKAP radio telescope in Western Australia, will help scientists investigate fundamental questions about the universe's magnetic origins and evolution.
CSIRO job cuts will cripple Australia's ability to submit climate projections to global reports like the IPCC, leading researchers warn. About 100 scientists are being made redundant, impacting the national climate model.
