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 [...]View
New all-optical approach to revolutionise night vision technology
TMOS researchers from the Australian National University demonstrate enhanced infrared vision non-linear upconversion technology using a non-local lithium niobate metasurface, making significant progr [...]View
Lower cost infrared imaging systems improving your weather forecast.
The result of this approach is a more cost-effective MCT IR detector capable of withstanding environmental stressors more effectively, making it ideal for various applications, including meteorologica [...]View
Continuous non-invasive glucose sensing on the horizon with the development of a new optical sensor.
Researchers at TMOS, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have taken an important step towards eliminating this discomfort. Their RMIT Universi [...]View
Breathtaking: the whistle that might save lives
TMOS Researchers are hopeful the new Ketowhistle could spare people living with diabetes from invasive tests and help them take control of their health. [...]View
Bright idea: new LEDs can detect off food and lethal gases
Researchers from TMOS have developed a device that is essentially a tuneable LED and photodetector that could identify a suite of gases, potentially including lethal ones, improving the safety of fi [...]View
The Good Fight: Advance in flexible photodetector could improve monitoring of greenhouse gases
There will soon be a new tool to fight global warming with the development of lightweight flexible light sensors that can simultaneously image across a wide spectral range, from the visible to the inf [...]View
From Dark Nights to Safe Highways: New Infrared technology delivering 360-degree vision on the road
Anyone whose rearview camera has saved them from a broken bumper knows the value of eyes in the back of your head. That’s why new cars come complete with rear-facing visible cameras, RADAR and near- [...]View
