“Understanding how the phenomenon of ‘crackling noise’ occurs at the microscopic scale could have implications for new research in materials science and medicine. Scientists from UNSW Sydney and the University of Cambridge have used novel methods to listen to the …
“Patented sieving process developed by research team at UNSW Sydney significantly improves the way important materials from photovoltaic panels can be separated and extracted for reuse. UNSW Sydney engineers have developed a new, more effective way of recycling solar panels …
“By all accounts, this planet shouldn’t exist, new international research co-authored by UNSW Sydney shows. Stars tend to get violent when they’re about to die. Take our Sun, for example: in about 5 billion years, after running out …
“Did you know that for the price of a brand new large ute, you could instead send your very own small satellite to the International Space Station and out into orbit? Cubesats – lunchbox-sized satellites that can undertake space-based experiments, make …
“Flexible electronic nanomembranes show promise for revolutionary organ-on-chip technologies, potentially reducing the need for animal testing in medical research. Engineers from UNSW Sydney have discovered a way to create flexible electronic systems on ultra-thin skin-like materials. The development allows entire …
“Engineers show that a jellybean-shaped quantum dot creates more breathing space in a microchip packed with qubits. The silicon microchips of future quantum computers will be packed with millions, if not billions of qubits – the basic units of quantum information …
“Hand-held magnetic field imaging equipment could be used in construction safety and medical diagnostics. Smartphones could one day become portable quantum sensors thanks to a new chip-scale approach that uses organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) to image magnetic fields, with significant …
“This new spin measuring device could help scientists - particularly in chemistry and biology - understand the structure and purpose of materials better. In a paper published over the weekend in the journal Science Advances, Associate Professor Jarryd Pla and his team …
News ‘Metasurface’ technology: researchers pave the way for flatter and more energy-efficient screens
“A team of Australian and UK researchers have developed a proof-of-concept technology that could eventually supersede LCDs and LED. A team across three universities – Nottingham Trent University in the UK, UNSW Canberra, and the Australian National University – has developed new …
“Discovery of previously unknown effect makes compact, ultra-fast control of spin qubits possible. UNSW Sydney engineers have discovered a new way of precisely controlling single electrons nestled in quantum dots that run logic gates. The new mechanism is also less …
