Scientific paper

John O'Sullivan, a radio astronomer, has received the 2009 Australian Prime Minister's Prize for Science for technology that was devised to improve radio astronomy, but now allows fast and reliable wireless computing for all of us - genuine knowledge transfer in action.
A spectrographic survey has found that stars with planets - like our Sun - tend to have a lot less lithium in their make-up than comparable stars without planetary systems. It is not yet clear how this comes about, but it points the way to a shortcut to finding new exoplanetary systems.
