A powerfully symbolic stylised Hills Hoist adorned with woven flying foxes has taken out this year's yapang Emerging Art Prize. The work, by Muruwarri artist Dr Virginia Keft, is titled We were here long before the Hills Hoist, and celebrates connection to place and community. Inspired by the flying foxes that inhabit her own neighbourhood, Keft created the work to "overwrite the Hills Hoist as a potent symbol of white Australian suburbia and reclaim the space with eucalyptus branches collected from Dharawal Country (Wollongong)".

The blood-brain barrier, the body's way of shielding sensitive brain tissue from viruses, toxins and other harmful substances in the blood, can pose a problem for physicians caring for patients with suspected brain diseases such as cancer. Molecular and genetic information would be invaluable for confirming a diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions, but such molecules are normally confined to the brain by the barrier. Neurosurgeons routinely perform surgical brain biopsies to obtain this data on brain tumors, but such procedures carry risks and are not feasible for all tumors or for many other kinds of brain diseases.

A research team under the direction of Prof. Dr Felix Deschler at Heidelberg University's Institute for Physical Chemistry has developed a semiconductor that efficiently generates light and simultaneously gives that light a certain spin. According to the researchers, the so-called chiral perovskite material has great technological potential that can be used for applications in optoelectronics, telecommunications, and information processing. Generating bright, circularly polarised light has long been a goal of materials science.
