The challenge with detecting dark matter is that the signal will probably be incredibly small – perhaps only a couple of particles per day. So it would be really easy to be fooled...
14 February 2025Physicists have developed an ultra-compact quantum imager, based on an extremely sensitive high-resolution technique known as quantum ghost imaging. The new system uses a metasurface...
11 February 2025PhD Student Aditya Babu wants to revisit one of the earliest puzzles of nuclear physics: why are some nuclei more stable than others? And every nuclear physicist knows it’s to do with...
16 December 2024Up above the protection of the earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, satellites face a lot of radiation in space. A single cosmic ray hitting a satellite's electronics can wreak havoc...
11 December 2024A new approach to creating materials that interact selectively with different twists in light, known as chiral responses, greatly simplifies their fabrication, and could pave the way for advances...
24 October 2024ANU has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fujitsu, bringing new opportunities for quantum computing research and teaching. The agreement will see the two organisations partner...
21 October 2024Scientists have created new improved materials for detecting infrared light – the key to night vision. The new materials promise a more than tenfold improvement in efficiency...
17 October 2024After fleeing Ukraine, Dr Andrey Iljin has found a haven for idea generation at the ANU Research School of Physics. By Hannah Dixon, originally published in ANU Reporter For Dr Andrey...
15 October 2024A new way of comparing shapes will enable scientists to analyse data in more flexible and powerful ways. The approach has come from a collaboration between physicist Dr Vanessa Robins...
10 October 2024Forge Photonics, a start up company using gravitational wave detection technology has launched, setting its sights on the $A120 billion global market for autonomous vehicle navigation...
2 October 2024Scientists have created lasers from perfect crystals one hundredth of the diameter of a human hair. Like the fibres of a toothbrush, the team created an array of vertical crystals,...
30 September 2024Scientists have created materials with surprising optical properties, from arrays of lego-like cubes, made of caesium lead tri-bromide. Caesium lead tri-bromide is in a class of material...
