Beam Me Out, Scotty. A new tractor beam technology aims to minimize biopsy trauma.
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
New technology gives people a better sense of what they’re breathing
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 metasurface-based edge detecting filter for remote sensing transforms crop monitoring
Optical metasurfaces have enabled analog computing and image processing within sub-wavelength footprints, and with reduced power consumption and faster speeds. While various image processing metasurfa [...]View
New flexible 2D gas sensor soon to be protecting you from toxic ammonia
Your smartwatch could soon save you from more than missed meetings with a new miniaturised ammonia gas sensor in development. The sensor—made from 2D liquid metal and fabricated using a simple, cost [...]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
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
TMOS aims to bring diversity and equity to nano and micro-optics
Enchanted by sciences since he was in high school, Ken Crozier hopes that the ARC Centre of Excellence TMOS (Transformative Meta-Optical Systems) will inspire the next generation of researchers, and e [...]View
