Enrolments in high school physics are across Australia are declining. And the gender balance is stubbornly unchanged.
These trends broadly reflect patterns observed in advanced-level mathematics in Australian high schools.

Considered the 'sun's messengers' neutrinos are ghostly particles that rarely interact with normal matter.
In Pursuit, physicists explain how the study of neutrinos through the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is uncovering the sun's inner workings.

Neutrinos are the Sun’s secret messengers
Once thought undetectable, huge underground experiments are unlocking the nature of ghostly particles called neutrinos, which could be the key to a deeper understanding of what is happening inside the...

The Australian Institute of Physics is deeply concerned about declining participation in mathematics in senior secondary school, as reported today by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute. bit.ly/44VXhQ1. We must act now to address this to underpin Australia’s economic and social future.
