Academy honours nonlinear physicists

Two physicists from the Research School of Physics (RSPhys) have received major recognition from the Australian Academy of Science. Distinguished Professor Yuri Kivshar (Materials Physics) has been honoured with the Flinders Medal and Lecture, and Dr Daria Smirnova (Electronic Materials Engineering)...

The space-inspired breakthrough tackling ‘forever chemicals’ in water

A remark by a first-year student about a space researcher’s lack of real-world impact has led to a project to develop a groundbreaking device that combats PFAS, a forever chemical, The device takes just six minutes to degrade PFAS in water, which is carcinogenic. The project began unexpectedly...

Bogong thruster to help Taiwanese space missions

Technology developed at the Research School of Physics has attracted attention from the Taiwanese Space Agency. After a group from Taiwan toured the Space Plasma and Plasma Processing (SP3) lab as part of a recent Fluid Mechanics Conference in Canberra, the Director-General of the Taiwanese Space Agency,...

Dancing with ghosts to banish magnetic noise

Physicists have devised a way to combine an atomic magnetometer with a gyroscope, using a pulsed laser system and a simple mixture of gases. The new technique will not only be a radical improvement for precision measurements of rotation, but has the potential to be a powerful tool in the search for exotic...
