TMOS researchers have achieved record efficiency by growing metasurface laser crystals instead of sculpting them. Led by Dr Wei Wen Wong, the team’s new method produces atomically smooth nanostructu [...]
A new nanoengineered approach promises to make infrared spectrometers dramatically cheaper, more compact, and more robust — by replacing bulky moving optics with a heat-tunable metasurface. [...]
Dr Lukas Wesemann (University of Melbourne), Associate Professor Brad Clarke, and collaborators from the University of Stuttgart and TMOS have developed a low-cost “optical sieve” that detects nan [...]
An international team of researchers has developed a first-of-its-kind method to cheaply, portably, and powerfully detect harmful nanoplastic particles—advancing global efforts to understand their i [...]
Researchers from TMOS and ANU have developed breakthrough multilayer metalenses that bring powerful, lightweight optics to smartphones, drones, and satellites. This scalable meta-optics design overcom [...]
ANU and TMOS researchers have developed an InGaP metasurface that generates entangled photon pairs with tunable precision — a major step for quantum communication and hyperentangled systems. [...]
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 [...]
