A cure for HIV could be closer after research was released from Trinity College Dublin about how the virus avoids being dispelled from the body.

Scientists discovered that the virus disables the pathways between molecules in the body that allow the body to eliminate it.

It is thought by strengthening these pathways, the body could potentially remove it, therefore reducing the risk of AIDS.

The White House has issued a statement calling for allies to take greater responsibility in establishing peace in the Middle East.

This follows the successful air strikes on Syria by the US, UK and France.

The White House also added that the eradication of ISIS is a priority.

A graphic created by The Guardian with data from the Tangaroa Blue Foundation has identified that 75% of rubbish on Australian beaches is plastic.

Over 2 and a half million pieces of debris was collected from beaches and recorded in a database from 2016-2017, with about ¾ of the items made from plastic.

A big motive for the data collection is to help understand where the debris is coming from, to then work with industries and governments to cut off litter at the source.

An Aussie led team of galactic archaeologists are trying to find stars born at the same time and place as our Sun.

Stars formed together in clusters share the same chemical composition and can help us to understand the history of the Milky Way.

The project has over three hundred and forty thousand stars to analyse to try and find a sibling to our sun.  

M1 speeds are set to be reviewed after fewer crashes occurred on the highway during the Commonwealth Games.

The speed limit was reduced by 10 km/hr on Queensland’s busiest road and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey says a review to make these changes permanent would make it safer for drivers.

But, from the seven million trips made for the games five and a half million of them were made on public transport, bringing into question whether the potential speed reduction would increase flow capacity or the number of crashes.

Over 50 religious leaders have joined forces to urge Adani to abandon the Queensland coal project and turn its goals to renewable energy instead.

Christian ministers, Rabbis, Nuns, ordained Buddhists and Imams from across Australia have written a letter to be hand-delivered to Adani’s Townsville headquarters.

The religious leaders say they support the increase in local jobs that Adani will create but want the investment to increase for renewable energies like solar.

3D Printing Technology at Griffith is creating hope for sufferers of Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament injury also known as SLIL.

SLIL is then most common wrist injury which can be career-ending for athletes and result in long-term disability for others.

However, Griffith Professor Randy Bindra and Professor David Lloyd from Gold Coast Orthopaedic Research, Engineering and Education Alliance, are developing a technique to replace the ligaments using 3D bioprinting technology.

Queensland has the highest rates of cancer in young adults aged between 15-24 as a result of high melanoma rates.

A new report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found there are three hundred and thirty-six new cases per one million people in this age group.

If melanoma rates were excluded from the report, Queensland would have one of the lowest cancer rates among young adults.
