Proud to host Your Quantum Future, free @aip.org.au Women in Physics lecture by @spintronicmum.bsky.social on August 5.
The quantum spin of electrons is powering new technology. Learn how, why & what society should do to prepare for the coming quantum revolution. www.aip.org.au/event-6234700
Electrons power our daily life, but we only use one quantum property of electrons: their charge. Learn how physicists are advancing a new tech revolution by harnessing their “spin” at @spintronicmum.bsky.social's lecture "Your quantum future" on 30 July at @utas.edu.au

Bogong Space Thruster attracts attention from the Taiwanese Space Agency, inviting Rod Boswell to visit.
Bogong is a cold gas thruster uses solid naphthalene fuel, ideal for small satellites being commercialised by Boswell Technologies.

Just discovered NotebookLM's paper-to-podcast feature! 🎧 The AI 'hosts' summarize and chat naturally in a very believable way.
Its mind-blowing tech!!
Hear all about our new 'how diamond breaks' paper.

How to drive a tiny machine? No electricity needed, make it spin with a circularly polarised laser.
Ivan Toftul, Nonlinear Physics Centre, used resonance to enhance torque, surprised wtih efficiency 6x the 'limit'

Spacecraft could soon carry sophisticated polarisation-sensitive optics, using metasurfaces a tiny fraction of current optics. Plus they can analyse & filter all polarisations which boosts satellite imaging.

Lovely end of year lunch with the Advanced Materials Group @PhysicsANU. Tried an awesome new Ramen noodle restaurant (as we are a group that does a lot of Raman microspectroscopy!) AND we all got a group mug from Santa.
Perfect end to the year. Great peeps.
Terrible pic but I am fascinated to watch this Golden Orb spider Queen and her man get closer together each day on my work into work at @PhysicsANU . God speed sir..
(Also occurred to me that its nice to see some females over here in Physics 🫣)
Cut magnetic noise by dancing with ghosts; New device measures rotation & magnetic fields improving sensitivity drastically.
Add alkali gas (sensitive to laser) to noble gas (invisible, like a ghost) pulse mag/laser fields & watch the magnetic dance, of precession
