This April, we hosted our second TMOS Career Chats. We’ve pulled together some of the key takeaways from their discussion, which we believe will resonate with the broader early career researcher com [...]
A new photonics breakthrough uses light to control light, enabling fast, reversible tuning of metasurfaces for future optical chips and holographic tech. [...]
What if quantum devices could be reprogrammed like software? TMOS researchers are exploring programmable photonic systems that could transform how we build and scale quantum technologies. [...]
Australia’s harsh sun is infamous for damaging our skin. But what if you could track your skin’s health at home using something smaller than a credit card? [...]
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focussing power of meta-optical systems. [...]
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 [...]
Diversity in STEM is something many organisations are striving toward. While progress has been made, there is still a long way to go. As awareness grows of how intersectionality compounds the barriers [...]
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 [...]
