Stories of our research
See how UTS is creating real impact through research excellence.
UTS researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness of world-first real-time water level and rainfall sensing technology using existing mobile phone networks.
Distinguished Professor Jie Lu AO is pioneering artificial intelligence that unlocks the power of the genome to target improved women’s health.
Why do some coral species thrive when others are degrading and dying? Groundbreaking research is revealing their secrets to survival and how these traits can be harnessed to help reefs withstand the effects of climate change.
A UTS-led research team is developing vaccines to combat Alzheimer’s disease, based on ground-breaking ‘plug-and-play’ nanotechnology.
The problem of valuable nutrients being flushed away in sewage has long been recognised and now an Australian-developed solution has been unveiled.
