Nova, brought to you by the Australian Academy of Science and various sponsors, looks at the science behind the headlines.
Nova’s goal is to provide accessible scientific information that will help to remove confusion surrounding complex science questions featured in the news.
The topics encompass a vast array of scientific fields and provide reliable and up-to-date information for science teachers, students, journalists and anyone who is interested in learning more about the science that is behind topical issues.
We provide ‘real life’ examples of current research and how scientific information is used to make informed decisions. Each topic also includes teachers’ notes, student activities, links, further reading and resources, and provides accessible and up to date information on relevant Australian research.
The information on Nova has been checked for accuracy by experts in the field and is updated regularly.
