Message from our Chief Operations Officer
This year, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what we need to do as a Centre as we head toward our mid-term review. All Centres of Excellence are reviewed by the Australian Research Council (ARC) [...]View
Message from our Centre Deputy Director
One of the striking things about meta-optics is how quickly it is transitioning from the laboratory into real-world applications. This represents a precious opportunity for Australia. As it is a new a [...]View
Message from our Director
2022 was an important year for TMOS. Firstly, interstate and overseas travel opened for us to meet and undertake many activities in person. I will never forget the enthusiasm of all students and early [...]View
A new breakthrough in quantum light sources could make hacking a thing of the past.
Physicists working in the new field of meta-optics have made a breakthrough in the generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs that could allow quantum key distribution, a highly secure form of [...]View
Calling all future engineers!
The University of Western Australia’s Microelectronics Research Group is celebrating Science Week with an engineering competition that merges 3D printing and holograms into one exciting challenge. [...]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
Move over diamond. hBN is quantum’s new best friend.
Diamond has long been the go-to material for quantum sensing due to its coherent nitrogen-vacancy centres, controllable spin, sensitivity to magnetic fields, and ability to be used at room temperature [...]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
Spinning into the future: New Photonic Dirac Waveguide changing the way data is transferred and manipulated
A fridge that can do your shopping for you and tell you when food has gone bad is a shiny, exciting not-to-far-away future. A less exciting element of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the amount of dat [...]View
