Google, Meta and TikTok face new levy to pay for Australian news as Albanese reveals media plan

Theguardian.com and 2 more

Platforms including Google, Meta and TikTok will be required to strike commercial deals with Australian media outlets or pay a 2.25% levy on local revenues.
If platforms and media outlets agree on new deals, offsets of between 150% and 170% would be applied to their liabilities under the NBI, saving them from paying the new levy.
The model closes a loophole by making payment the cheaper option, nudging platforms to strike deals rather than pay the levy alone.

Seed-inspired environmental sensors go with the flow

Aip.org

Researchers propose seed-inspired sensors that move with environmental flows to monitor pollution and currents.
The devices are intended to be biodegradable and energy-efficient, reducing electronic waste.
Data from these sensors would be read optically, using drones or cameras to interpret signals.
The approach envisions a distributed, adaptive sensing system aligned with environmental dynamics.
Experts see potential for tracking pollutant spread and fluid flows in inaccessible regions.
The study emphasizes moving away from forcing sensors into environments toward integration with flows.
Seed-inspired sensors could enable monitoring in regions previously hard to reach.
The concept is linked to the broader work on passive environmental monitoring by Baik and colleagues.
The article notes the need for scale-ready data tools and calibration.
The study points toward sustainable, flow-following observers as a new sensing paradigm.
