It’s a challenge to see into the ground, but high resolution gravity measurements could be a way to reveal underground structures – caves, tunnels or even water bodies. Physicists from the Department of Quantum Sciences and Technology tried...

Staff and students from the Research School of Physics have won four awards in the 2022 Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) annual awards, more than half of the seven awarded this year. The awards span research and teaching, short term and long term...

Scientists at ANU have designed a back-to-front filter which uses lasers to process clouds of atoms. The device is back-to-front because it creates mirrors made of laser beams that reflect atoms. It is a reversed version of the well-known Fabry-Perot...

The ANU MakerSpace is helping to ensure health workers have adequate supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) amid the coronavirus pandemic, by coordinating the production of thousands of face shields and masks. The MakerSpace, established and funded...

Dr John Debs from the Physics Education Centre has won a 2017 Australian Award for University Teaching, announced by Minister for Education and Training, Senator the Hon Simon Birmingham. Dr Debs was rewarded for his work in the development of the new Mike...

RSPE’s ANU Makerspace has played a key role in designing and producing the newly unveiled Australian of the Year trophies.  Design sketches from the School of Art were digitised at the Makerspace, so they could be refined and produced quickly,...

The main technical difficulty in building a quantum computer could soon be the thing that makes it possible to build one, according to new research from The Australian National University. Dr André Carvalho, from the ARC Centre for Quantum...
