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 [...]View
Protecting children and pets: Innovative metasurface prevents cars from overheating
Every year in Australia, more than 5000 children are rescued after being left unattended in a car. Not all of those children are saved before they succumb to death by heatstroke, with at least ten Aus [...]View
TMOS researchers paving the way towards flatter and more energy efficient flat screens
TMOS researchers have developed a proof-of-concept technology that could pave the way for next-generation displays to supersede LCDs and LEDs, enabling screens and electronic devices to become thinner [...]View
A smartphone could spell the end for malaria and other infectious diseases
Scientists are about to turn your smartphone into a tool that can diagnose diseases such as malaria, making mobile medical diagnostics affordable and accessible to remote areas such as third world cou [...]View
Reimagining medical diagnostics in developing countries: meta-optics offers a new way to look inside cells
Traditional pathways to ‘see’ cells, their internal structures and the interaction between different organelles, involve staining the cells with special dyes and using phase contrast imaging. Thes [...]View
Infrared imaging by ultra-thin nanocrystal layers
Researchers show the conversion of infrared images to the visible using ultra-thin and transparent semiconductor nanocrystals. [...]View
