Galaxies with extended disks maintain productivity, research reveals Image, video, GIFs Paper details, authors and affiliations More about ASTRO 3D Media release below Massive galaxies with extra-large extended “puffy” disks produced stars for longer than their more compact cousins, new modelling reveals. In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, researchers led by Dr Anshu…
Hot qubits made in Sydney break one of the biggest constraints to practical quantum computers Independent expert for comment Images Video Full paper Background information on hot qubits and a timeline of Professor Dzurak’s work. A proof-of-concept published today in Nature promises warmer, cheaper and more robust quantum computing. And it can be manufactured using…
A proof-of-concept published in Nature promises warmer, cheaper and more robust quantum computing. And it can be manufactured using conventional silicon chip foundries. Full media kit here. Most quantum computers being developed around the world will only work at fractions of a degree above absolute zero. That requires multi-million-dollar refrigeration and as soon as you…
Posted on behalf of the University of New South Wales It’s not every day that school students get to present their science project to a major scientific conference, and rarer still to receive a prize for it from a Nobel Laureate. That’s the happy experience today for a team of four Year 11 students from…
A new, cheaper way to deliver accurate time across Australia: instead of using hydrogen maser clocks costing hundreds of thousands of dollars we can bounce signals through the national’s optical fibre network according to physics leaders speaking today and tomorrow. Also today at the national physics congress in Sydney, meet the man whose job it…
And what are the benefits for Australian research? Today in Washington DC, the Australian Ambassador Kim Beazley will open a four day workshop with more than 60 US defence researchers and 33 Australian nanotechnology scientists. The meeting, organised by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF), will…
