Observing distant galaxies, stars and cosmic events is the closest thing we have to time travel. Because light can take millions or even billions of years to get to us, by looking into deep space we c [...]
Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) nodes at the Australian National University (ANU) and University of Melbourne (UoM) have pioneered a new qua [...]
A nanoscale "tent" breakthrough has led to the Ketowhistle, a breath test for diabetes that detects acetone as a glucose biomarker, eliminating the need for finger-prick tests. Developed by ANU resear [...]
Researchers from TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have developed a new engineering approach to on-chip light sources that could lead to widespread adoption o [...]
Researchers at TMOS and their collaborators at RMIT University have developed a new 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) that can simultaneously detect temperature anomalies and [...]
Researchers at TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have taken an important first step in the development of metasurface-enabled tractor beams—rays of light th [...]
Physicists at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems are working to address the challenge of consumer air quality monitoring with the development of a portable infrared m [...]
Optical metasurfaces have enabled analog computing and image processing within sub-wavelength footprints, and with reduced power consumption and faster speeds. While various image processing metasurfa [...]
"Move over electrons, photons are taking the lead! Researchers at TMOS have cracked the code to on-chip light sources, turbocharging processors with near-lightspeed communication, quantum computing mu [...]
An increasing number of emerging quantum applications operate using optical technologies. Currently, quantum photon sources are regularly taken offline to be tested and adjusted using an interferomete [...]
