We are an @RMIT team researching microchip technologies to transform industries with smaller, lighter, tougher more precise & energy-efficient photonic systems
This perplexing chip is just like an electronic circuit board, but instead of electrons, it's full of light (photons) AND it's around the size of a fingernail!
This #scienceweek we're sharing the beauty of the science of light (AKA #photonics!) ✨

SciComm efforts sometimes come up with the most amusing quotes ...

... here's me trying to communicate in simple terms how Optus' had a bad day.
Well done to the team @MarkoPerestjuk, @ArnanMitchell & @andy_boes on their article in @aplphotonics that combines the benefits of mid-infrared light (great for sensing) and integrated photonics (great for making things smaller).
A true team effort!
If we can make sensors more sensitive, yet smaller, we can use them for breath analysis in health care, monitoring air quality, or defence. Today our article in @aplphotonics brings this reality one step closer. Read more: https://t.co/nJhoDaKSSi
Excited to be in Adelaide for @anznmf2023 . Just presented my work on organoid research platforms for improving chemotherapeutic outcomes - many interesting talks to come!
Drones spraying wheat crops, monitoring bushfires, or delivering groceries to your door - these applications aren't too far away, but all require precise location measurement without GPS.
Optical gyroscopes provide a solution. Read more in @PhotonicsSpec

Join our Director @ArnanMitchell tomorrow in Clayton or online to learn about how he has led our team to create Australian-made technologies for biomedical imaging, data communications and precision sensing – all with the help of the Aus National Fabrication Facility (@ANFFHQ).
For its potential in remotely detecting the ripeness of fruit, and for moon navigation, lithium niobate is a material to be reckoned with in integrated photonics. Our Director @ArnanMitchell will be giving a tutorial at the @OFCConference on Tues 7 March.

As we continually try to fit more complexity into smaller spaces – like our shrinking phones & computers – tiny ‘artificial sheets’ called metasurfaces may offer a solution.
Find out more in an online workshop with Thomas Pertsch @UniJena tomorrow!

And a great quote in @That_Laser_Lady's talk about the current state of our most accurate clocks (atomic clocks)...
If we are to use these clocks for deep space navigation or defence, we need them to be smaller and robust, whilst also maintaining their accuracy and complexity.
Our guest speaker @That_Laser_Lady from @IPASadelaide spoke at our InPAC workshop about trying to detect the cancer biomarkers in our breath (the same dogs can detect); and atomic clocks that can measure the excitement of atoms for deep space navigation.
Miniaturising 100s of lasers for faster internet, @MickaelMounaix at @UQSchoolITEE (with @BellLabs) measuring and controlling all aspects of light for ... everything! and a bit of InPAC’s history since beginning in 2018 – our InPAC workshop is well and truly underway!
Our Data Communications Team Leader @Bill_Corcoran spoke at the @veskiorg @studymelbourne showcase event this week - talking about the power of international collaborations in research.

Was great to represent the team of @ArnanMitchell at the @veski @studymelbourne event today. Thanks for supporting student mobility and international collaboration!
Talking about the vast potential of the 'back in vogue' material lithium niobate, our Director @ArnanMitchell has just done his plenary at #PhotonicsWest!
Well done to our Precision Sensing Team Leader @andy_boes and Director @ArnanMitchell on leading research published in @ScienceMagazine!
From remote ripening-fruit detection on Earth to navigation on the Moon, they explore potential applications of the crystal lithium niobate.
What is a frequency comb and what can they be used for? How can photonic chips help?
Join me next week (Jan 18, 2023 17:00 EST) to find out!

And that's a wrap for 2022! Our team helped the world keep up with internet data demands and is on the way to creating a device for early detection of ovarian cancer; among many other things!
Thanks for another fantastic year and we'll see you in 2023!
