Sensors will play a critical role in Australia’s artificial intelligence revolution, the Federal Assistant Minister for Science, Technology and the Digital Economy Dr Andrew Charlton told the NSSN’s Ambitious NSW: Sensing the Future of NSW Industry event this week. The workshop featured leaders from government, industry and research.

In a special episode of UNSW’s Engineering the Future podcast, NSSN Co-Director Professor Julien Epps discusses the technology, ideas and policies shaping Australia’s shift to cleaner energy with Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Hon Josh Wilson MP.

A new newborn hearing screening test could combine the speed and simplicity of an ear test with the accuracy of more comprehensive nerve testing, potentially making early hearing detection faster, cheaper and more accessible.

Industry, government and research leaders will gather in Parramatta on 6 October to explore how smart sensing can help NSW advance its priorities in advanced manufacturing, housing and net zero.

Forests and woodlands cover millions of hectares across Australia and store enormous amounts of carbon, support biodiversity, regulate water supplies and help buffer the impacts of climate change. Yet we know surprisingly little about how these important ecosystems are changing over time.

Scientists are trialing satellite-enabled smart sensors on trees across the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and parts of far western NSW to provide an unprecedented picture of how Australia’s forests are responding to changing environmental conditions.

Buildings may be designed to be sustainable, but their real performance depends on how they operate over time. In this Thought Piece, NSSN Board Member and industry leader Jeff Oatman explores how sensing can close the gap between design intent and actual performance.

Professor Sean O'Byrne, ANU Professor of Aerospace Engineering and NSSN Ambassador, develops advanced sensing and diagnostic technologies to support the next generation of aerospace technologies.

Relive the highlights of the NSSN’s 10th birthday celebration through memorable moments and reflections from the night.

An NSSN expert review of emerging asbestos detection technologies contributed to recommendations from the NSW Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer that are now reflected in the NSW Government’s $16 million response to asbestos waste.

In this Thought Piece, NSW Smart Sensing Network Chief Operating Officer Nicholas Haskins reflects on the NSSN’s 10th Anniversary and why the community, relationships and trust built over the past decade are among the network’s most enduring achievements.

Founders, university partners, researchers, industry, government and collaborators who have helped shape the NSSN over the past decade came together to celebrate the network’s 10th birthday at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney on Monday night.
