We are accepting applications for 2019 casual laboratory demonstrators in the first year and higher year teaching laboratories, teaching assistants for online courses, problem solving workshops and the first year study area.
The School of Physics's Prof Michael Ashley and UNSW alumnus Dr Colin Bonner have travelled to Tibet to search for a suitable location for a new telescope, for the full story please see the below
Controlling hole spin for future quantum spin-based devices, topological materials
The ‘spins’ of electrons (and holes) in semiconductors have potential applications in spintronics, spin-based quantum computing, and topological systems.
Constraining the movement of charge carriers (electrons or holes) to two dimensions unlocks unusual quantum properties, resulting in useful electronic properties. Much can be learned by observing precisely at what thickness such effects emerge, transitioning from a 3D system to a 2D system.
In a huge galactic archaeology project, astronomers led by UNSW's Dr Sarah Martell have revealed the “DNA” of more than 340,000 stars in the Milky Way, which should help them find the siblings of the Sun, now scattered across the sky.
