After fleeing Ukraine, Dr Andrey Iljin has found a haven for idea generation at @PhysicsANU. Read more from @ourANU Reporter: science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…

On March 20, we hosted a nationwide Space & Astronomy Symposium with @NASA and @NASAJPL, with the support of @PhysicsANU and @scienceANU Thanks to all who joined us across Australia, let’s keep reaching for the stars! youtube.com/watch?v=ZqoFLm… #Space #astronomy #ouranu #Science

Congratulations to two of our amazing physicists, honoured by @Science_Academy Prof Yuri Kivshar honoured with the Flinders Medal and Lecture, and Dr Daria Smirnova receives the Pawsey Medal. physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @scienceANU @ausphysics @ourANU @ANUmedia

When a random conversation with someone from a different field results in new sensor, 100x more sensitive! Dark matter astrophysicists leveraging gravitational wave technology. physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @scienceANU @ausphysics @ourANU @ANUmedia @StromloANU @ARC_OzGRav @ARC_DMPP

As Dom Koll radio-dated ancient crust samples he stumbled across evidence of a major event in Earth’s history, 10My ago. Nearby supernova? Global shift in ocean currents? An intriguing mystery! physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @HIA_Accelerates @ausphysics @scienceANU @ANUmedia

How heavy are neutron stars at birth? A new study has found a new distribution! This could change how we understand supernovae and gravitational waves. We spoke to researcher Simon Stevenson to learn more! youtube.com/shorts/kSMynrh…

How many Higgs bososns would you like? Navneet Krishnan thinks there could be six - five more waiting to be found. physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @ausphysics @ourANU @scienceANU

Episode 12 of Megavolts - Testing dark matter detectors for impurities that might masquerade as a dark matter signal. How? By crushing the expensive detector crystal into powder! physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @HIA_Accelerates @ausphysics @ourANU @scienceANU

"A joyful occasion": Prof Kathleen Kramer awards ANU Accelerator an IEEE Milestone, for its history of significant technical achievement Congratulations all who've been part of that history! physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @ausphysics @ANUmedia @scienceANU @IEEEorg @HIA_Accelerates

Incredibly sensitive imaging technique, quantum ghost imaging, using a metamaterial 100x thinner than a hair. Jinyong Ma et al from @TMOS_ARC use the power of quantum-entangled photons to see through noisy environments. physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @ausphysics @ANUmedia @scienceANU

The Crompton Award enabled PhD student Aditya Babu to study the nearly-magic parts of nuclear physics, travelling to @Argonne lab in Chicago, where so much of the story began. physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @ausphysics @HIA_Accelerates @ANUmedia @scienceANU @ourANU

That's a wrap on science at ANU for 2024! Wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season🎄🎆

How do you protect electronics on satellites from the constant bombardment of cosmic rays? In Megavolts 11 we talk to Dr Jafar Shojaii, who was using the heavy ion accelerator @HIA_Accelerates to test his latest designs @scienceANU @ANUmedia @ausphysics physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N…

Manipulating light with a twist, for working with chiral molecules, eg asymmetric drugs, gets heaps easier thanks to neat insight. No complicated components, use simple ones arranged asymmetrically physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @scienceANU @ausphysics @ourANU @anumedia @ivan_toftul

AI promises to help scientists do more, faster, with less money. But it brings a host of new concerns, too. In this article, @NabaviEhsan from @ANU_CPAS asks what the AI transformation will really mean for science: science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…

The recent signing of an MOU with @fujitsulabs will see us partner to establish a centre for quantum research, with ambitions to build an onsite quantum computer. physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @ausphysics @ARC_EQUS @QuantumC2T @CQC2T_ @ourANU @ANUmedia

Congratulations to TMOS PhD student, Fedor Kovalev, for earning the Robert & Helen Crompton Award, announced today at the @PhysicsANU Founders Day celebrations. Can't wait to see what comes of your trip to Partner Investigator @andrea_alu Alu at @CUNY tmos.org.au/news/fedor-kov…

🎙️ "School students are increasingly quitting subjects like physics," warns Professor @matthewbailes in his recent ABC Radio interview. Tune in to hear his thoughts on the importance of embracing difficult subjects and how it impacts the future of science: abc.net.au/listen/program…

Beating nature to create materials that will radically improve night vision technology, by locking them in non-equilibrium states. Fascinating work from @HIA_Accelerates physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?N… @scienceANU @ourANU @ausphysics #ncris

Chemistry in the Pub - Thu next week, come along, and see yummy, colourful, healthy chemistry! Line Up announced: facebook.com/events/3632192… @RACInational @ANUChemistry @NourishFuture @scienceANU
