  Secrets of the universe are shaping our future

  Jun 30, 202536 minS2

  <p>Dr Danni Holmes uses a special single-atom gun to implant “donor” atoms into silicon chips for quantum technology. </p><p><br></p><p>Working at atomic scales has its challenges — even a sneeze in a cleanroom can derail weeks of effort! Danni is an excellent communicator, and her most unusual science outreach gig was doing live experiments over Antarctica. She will soon be touring Australia for the Marie Curie Lectures as part of an award from the Australian Institute of Physics. Danni shares a teaser: quantum science isn’t just about tiny particles, but about everything from why stars shine to...

  Your quantum future

  Jun 30, 202537 minS2

  <p>Dr Sol H. Jacobsen explores the fascinating world of spintronics — a field where quantum science already meets real-world applications. </p><p>Sol is about to tour Australia for the Marie Curie Lectures as part of an award from the Australian Institute of Physics. Learn how manipulating electron spin opens doors to ultra-efficient information processing, and why this isn't just about quantum computing. We also dive into deeper territory: where does science end and philosophy begin? Sol discusses how quantum mechanics challenges our understanding of reality — and why these ideas matter to everyone, not just physicists.</p><p>Whether you’re a se...

  Quantum printer

  Apr 10, 202529 minS2

  <p>Ever wondered how the tiny processors in your phone or laptop are made? It all comes down to an ancient idea—writing on stone—taken to the most extreme level imaginable. </p><p>Elliot Cheng is a Specialist Engineer in Nanolithography (aka tiny-stone-writing) at the University of Queensland’s Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis. Using electron beams and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lasers, he "prints" some of the smallest patterns in the world. This cutting-edge tech relies on quantum science and underpins the powerful, tiny computers we use every day.</p><p>Have you ever dreamed of building things atom by atom...

  Live - Celebrating quantum Ig Nobility

  Dec 13, 202422 minS2

  <p>We present the inaugural, ultimate, and grand final EQUS Ig Nobel Prize!</p><p>EQUS is coming towards an end, and there's plenty of Type 1 success to celebrate. But that is for another place, because the stories that end up being told and re-told (and re-told) with the most relish are invariably about Type 2 enjoyment. These incidents were not perhaps enjoyable in the moment but have grown to become our favourite anecdotes to share and reminisce about! Would you rather endure wildlife in the lab, a travel cancellation involving "second-hand" accommodation, a smoke-and-mirrors masterclass, biosecurity evasion, or an interstate...

  Roadtripping a quantum skipping rope

  Sep 5, 202430 minS2

  <p>This special episode recounts adventures from the 2024 National Quantum and Dark Matter Roadtrip - a science journey of more than 8000km across Australia! </p><p>The roadtrip has become a significant annual National Science Week event, and this year it drove from Brisbane to Broome across the top of Australia. We visited numerous outback schools to share engaging presentations and hands-on activities, all designed to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. We also hosted pub quizzes and a community market stall! An adventure this big leads to plenty of stories, and we share some of our favourite a...
