The Varroa mite is a key threat to Australia's biodiversity as it feeds on honey bees and transmits bee viruses. Trying to help stem the damage to a wide range of pollination-reliant food crops is ANU bee researcher Professor Sasha Mikheyev.

Meet three researchers in our network, learn about their research and find out what draws them to working in data or Artificial Intelligence. 

The best investments – new NSSN Board member Natasha Rawlings writes – are usually based around someone solving their own, or someone else’s problem.

Four leading scientists and engineers who work with smart sensors will headline a stimulating panel discussion at the next NSW Smart Sensing Network Women in Sensing event at the Australian National University on 12 September. 

Collaboration and impact were the themes of the NSSN’s quarterly Sensing Industry Connect at the University of Newcastle this week.

Scientists are trialling cost-effective sensors which will empower bushfire managers to efficiently monitor the moisture content of bushfire fuel in real time, therefore helping them to better identify prescribed burn opportunities and monitor fire risk.

This month learn about the three Sensing for Disasters projects; read how researchers at Macquarie University, ANU and the University of Sydney are creating a sustainable, remote beehive monitoring system using smart sensors; and learn how quantum sensing is set to transform Australian industries.

Researchers at Macquarie University, ANU and University of Sydney are creating a sustainable, remote beehive monitoring system using nanostructured gas sensors, which they say will maintain optimal hive health and lead to increased honey production and quality.

The NSSN is proud to announce the newest addition to its Board, Natasha Rawlings. Natasha brings valuable sensing industry and commercialisation experience to the NSSN Board.

Quantum sensing could be the first major application to spark a quantum revolution, research commercialisation expert Navin Chandrasekaran writes, and society will reap many rewards as a result.

Innovating for a Safer Future: The Connectivity Innovation Network and the NSW Smart Sensing Network announce winners of $230,000 Sensing for Disasters Funding.

This month learn about the NSSN's new Strategic Plan; read about the OysterGuard project which will empower oyster farmers to navigate heatwaves, floods and droughts; and meet researcher Professor Jason Prior from UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures.
