Professor Joss Bland-Hawthorn is the first University of Sydney academic to win the prestigious biennial 2017 Thomas Ranken Lyle Medal medal in 30 years, and is the first astronomer to do so in over 40 years. He was recognised for his seminal contributions to astrophysics and instrumentation.
The first collaboration between ASELL Schools and CAASTRO in the Classroom was held on 19 October, hosted at the University of Sydney with student and teacher participants from all over Australia.
World-record rocket efficiency results in a University of Sydney laboratory are set to be tested in space. Former student, Dr Patrick Neumann, made the announcement today with Airbus Defence & Space.
For the second time since it was first observed, a nearby galaxy with a black hole at its centre has mysteriously changed. In a new paper, a University of Sydney PhD student suggests the black hole is being starved of fuel.
Light-based technologies that could underpin super-smart phones that can sense pollution and analyse blood are in focus in the creation of the NSW Government Smart Sensing Network, co-led by the University of Sydney's Professor Benjamin Eggleton.
Research led by a student at the University of Sydney and including an international team of astronomers has managed to peer into the past of supernova remnant 1987A using the Murchison Widefield Array.
An international collaboration between scientists from the School of Physics and the Advanced Institute of Industrial Science and Technology in Japan has achieved a breakthrough for enabling faster, more compact and cost-efficient telecommunications using advanced optical frequency comb technology.
Researchers from Sydney SpaceNet at the School of Physics are testing their cube-sized satellites at the ANU space simulator to ensure they are ready for launch from the International Space Station later this year.
CAASTRO PhD student Joseph Callingham is attending the 66th Lindau Meeting in Germany (26 June - 1 July), encountering more Nobel Laureates than most of us would in a lifetime!
A breakthrough by Australian researchers could make infra-red technology easy-to-use and cheap, potentially saving millions of dollars in defence and other areas using sensing devices.
The School of Physics has welcomed the opening of the Parenting/First Aid Room in the School of Physics Building (A28) in May, as part of the numerous infrastructure projects occurring in the School over the past year.
Physicists from the Institute of Photonics and Optical Science (IPOS) at the School of Physics have proposed an innovative mechanism of harvesting solar energy more efficiently at lower costs than traditional photovoltaic (PV) cells.
Dr Natalie Batalha from the NASA Ames Research Center and Mission Scientist for NASA's Kepler Mission will give the annual Professor Walter Stibbs Lecture on 28 April.
Professor Eggleton from CUDOS in the School of Physics explains photonics and other research being conducted in the Sydney Nanoscience Hub in this interview with ABC 24 News.
The School of Physics joined in the global celebrations of International Women's Day and its theme of 'Pledge For Parity' on 8 March 2016 by taking part in two events to highlight our efforts for diversity and to affirm our commitment to creating a more diverse and equitable workplace.
Researchers from the School of Physics have featured in the Sydney Morning Herald discussing the cutting edge research taking place in the Sydney Nanoscience Hub.
Four innovators will lead the first Ideas that Travel event in partnership with TEDxSydney aboard a Qantas flight from Sydney to San Francisco - and two of those are associated with the University of Sydney - including quantum physicist Associate Professor Michael Biercuk.
A century following Albert Einstein's publication of his general theory of relativity we have confirmation, with the detection of gravitational waves by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (aLIGO) detectors.
CUDOS researchers published in Nature Communications, led by Dr Andrea Blanco-Redondo, detail their discovery of an entirely new class of optical soliton called pure-quartic solitons.
