Certified fresh! Yasmine Sfendla brought home this year’s SMP Physics Poster Prize with her work on superfluid Brillouin optomechanics. A version a bit heavier on words is available in Nature Physics. Meanwhile, Christian Bekker received the commendation for Best Student Publication with his development of a microcavity with electrically tunable resonances. Learn more about it in Optics Express. Congrats, Christian and Yasmine!
Designing Technology for Tomorrow Award for Warwick, Chris and Raj
Shoot for the moon? It’s 2019, we’d rather connect to the moon. Warwick, Chris, and Raj’s work on quantum sensing technologies with NASA and Lockheed Martin was awarded with the UQ Partners in Research Excellence Award for “Designing Technology for Tomorrow”. A tremendous honour for Warwick Bowen, Chris Baker and Rachpon Kalra! We’re sensing this is not the last we’ll hear from this stellar work.
A picture worth a thousand layers
Our Leo Sementilli’s picture of KOH etched Silicon carbide layers grown on silicon was chosen as image of the month by the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis. Keep making great tiny things, Leo!
