QUT Researchers Unveil Innovative Biosensor for Detecting Rare Earth Elements
- Researchers from Queensland University of Technology have unveiled a biosensor capable of detecting rare earth elements that has the potential to transform e-waste recycling and extraction of critical materials.
- The biosensor technology speaks to an urgent need within the industry to devise more sustainable, cost-effective methods for identifying and extracting these materials.
- The biosensor technology was developed by fusing a lanthanide-binding protein known as LanM with an antibiotic-degrading enzyme known as beta-lactamase which enables the protein to act as a biological switch that activates solely in the presence of lanthanides.
- The interdisciplinary research team collaborated with prominent researchers from CSIRO Advanced Engineering Biology Future Science Platform and Clarkson University in the USA and their joint efforts culminated in the publication of their findings in the esteemed journal Angewandte Chemie International.
- The researchers' biosensor can be used to identify and extract a broad range of metals and it is adaptable to implement in various sectors from medical to aerospace and defense to environmental inquiries.
- The team behind the development of the biosensor is eyeing adaptation into not just detecting problems, but also the recovery of valuable minerals such as rare earth elements, directly from the ocean water which has enormous implications for marine resource management.
- Any potential solution such as this will encourage the development of circular economic practices, in which waste generation is minimized and valuable resources are captured, recycled and reused.
- The technology of molecular nanomachines built by engineering proteins is an exciting frontier that can redefine industrial applications.
- The QUT biosensor breakthrough underscores the vital role of interdisciplinary collaboration in solving some of the pressing challenges of our time, and could transform traditional metal recovery systems.
- Thus QUT development of the biosensor is a testament to the potential of synthetic biology in shaping the future of technology, and the power of innovation to change the landscape of industries reliant on rare earth elements, thereby fortifying the link between scientific discovery and societal advancements.

New tech ‘sifts’ signals from space to detect mysterious fast radio bursts
- CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope has developed new technology, CRACO, to aid in the search for the source of fast radio bursts (FRBs).
- FRBs are powerful pulses of radio-frequency light lasting milliseconds but releasing as much energy as the Sun does over many days.
- CRACO has already discovered 2 FRBs, 2 sporadically emitting neutron stars, and improved the location data of 4 pulsars.
- The technology sifts through trillions of pixels received by the telescope, enabling faster detection and analysis of cosmic signals.

You need a safe word CSIRO data experts say to avoid scammers and deepfakes
- In an age where misinformation and deepfakes blur the lines between fact and fiction, identifying scams has never been more challenging.
- Shoppers, particularly millennials and Gen Z consumers, face heightened risks during Christmas and Boxing Day, with one in five people unknowingly purchasing products endorsed by deepfake celebrity endorsements.
- Experts recommend having a family safe word as a proactive measure to verify the authenticity of requests for money, as scammers can use AI voice cloning to convincingly impersonate loved ones.
- Other tips to protect against cyber threats include verifying caller identities, enabling multi-factor authentication, turning on banking push notifications, and being cautious about the information shared online.

Australian venture plans 50 MW CST plant
- Australian venture, FPR Energy, has raised AUD 15 million ($9.7 million) in seed funding to commercialize its concentrated solar thermal (CST) technology.
- The CST technology, developed by CSIRO, uses ceramic particles to absorb and store sunlight as heat, enabling long-duration energy storage to support the decarbonization of Australia’s heavy industry.
- FPR Energy plans to develop a 50 MW demonstration plant with up to 16 hours of integrated thermal energy storage to prove the commercial viability of the particle-based technology.
- The funds raised for the launch of FPR Energy is the largest seed funding to date for one of CSIRO's co-founded ventures.

75 years ago today, Australia’s first computer booted up
- Australia's first computer, CSIR Mk1 (later renamed CSIRAC), was switched on on 14 November 1949.
- Designed and built by Trevor Pearcey with help from Maston Beard and Geoff Hill, CSIRAC was the 4th stored-memory electronic computer in the world.
- It became fully operational in 1951, could perform 1,000 operations per second, and stored about 2 kilobytes of data.
- CSIRAC holds records as the first computer to play electronic music and do numerical weather forecasting, and it is the only surviving first-generation computer worldwide.
