This month read how researchers from the University of Technology Sydney & Western Sydney University are repurposing BioScout tech to monitor indoor mould.

Read the highlights from our inaugural Women in Sensing Summit, including Dr Cathy Foley, former Chief Scientist of Australia, on the vital role of women in driving innovation. Dr Vanessa Pirotta, Premier’s NSW Woman of Excellence 2025, shows how drones and citizen science are changing how we study whales and marine life.

The NSSN’s Dr Tom Hu reflects on the mystery of pigeon navigation, and shows how biological phenomena can drive advances in geoscience, quantum sensing, and beyond.

And learn about DeteQt, a VC-backed spin-out from the University of Sydney, which is developing next-generation magnetic sensors that detect what today’s tools can’t.
