  • Bees adjust their speed to keep turning forces constant, new research from the Queensland Brain Institute, UQ shows. The findings can be applied to robots and autonomous vehicles.
  • Seventeen students will be venturing into the Queensland Brain Institute’s labs once again for this year’s summer research program.
  • Whenever we smell something, our nose and brain work together to make sense of hundreds of very tiny invisible particles, known as molecules or chemicals, that are floating in the air. Inside your nostrils, there are tiny things called neurons that “talk” to each other using electrical messages.
