What do asteroid strikes, ancient glaciers and landslides have in common? They can all be studied at the Heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).
In this episode of MegaVolts, UNSW Professor Tim Barrows – an earth scientist – shares his work using...
New research from the Department of Quantum Sciences and Technology (DQST) is helping to define the quality of quantum measurements.
“A collaborator asked us to help work out how good their measurements were, and to our surprise we realised no one had explored the theoretical limits,” said...
Scientists have perfected a way to reveal the smallest glitches in the biochemical machinery that makes proteins in our bodies – glitches that can trigger devastating diseases.
With this technique – squeezing molecules through tiny holes in a membrane – the team have identified how a mutation...
