Could a special form of light made using an ancient Namibian gemstone be the key to new light-based quantum computers?

Brillouin integrated photonics could enable a third-wave revolution in integrated circuits

Optical fibres are our global nervous system, transporting terabytes of data across the planet in the blink of an eye. As that information travels at the speed of light across the globe, the energy of the light waves bouncing around inside the silica and polymer fibres create tiny vibrations that lead to feedback packets of

A cheap and rapid way to find killer bacteria using quantum dots and a smart phone

Australian scientists develop cheap and rapid way to identify antibiotic-resistant golden staph (MRSA). A combination of off-the-shelf quantum dot nanotechnology and a smartphone camera soon could allow doctors to identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria in just 40 minutes, potentially saving patient lives. Staphylococcus aureus (golden staph), is a common form of bacterium that causes serious and sometimes fatal

The bacteria that produce ten percent of the oxygen we breathe are susceptible to plastic pollution

Ten per cent of the oxygen we breathe comes from just one kind of bacteria in the ocean. Now laboratory tests have shown that these bacteria are susceptible to plastic pollution, according to a study published in Communications Biology overnight. “We found that exposure to chemicals leaching from plastic pollution interfered with the growth, photosynthesis and oxygen

Ten years after the crisis, what is happening to the world’s bees?

Bees have been living with the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder for a decade. Simon Klein, Author provided Simon Klein, Université de Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier and Andrew Barron, Macquarie University Ten years ago, beekeepers in the United States raised the alarm that thousands of their hives were mysteriously empty of bees. What followed was global

Glass now has smart potential for biological sensing, biomedical imaging and 3D volumetric displays

Australian researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a method for embedding light-emitting nanoparticles into glass without losing any of their unique properties – a major step towards ‘smart glass’ applications such as 3D display screens or remote radiation sensors. This new “hybrid glass” successfully combines the properties of these special luminescent (or light-emitting)

Do Honeybees Feel? Scientists Are Entertaining the Idea

Bees find nectar and tell their hive-mates; flies evade the swatter; and cockroaches seem to do whatever they like wherever they like. But who would believe that insects are conscious, that they are aware of what’s going on, not just little biobots? Neuroscientists and philosophers apparently. As scientists lean increasingly toward recognizing that nonhuman animals

Academic calls for specific laws to address intrusive potential of face recognition technology applied to online images

A telecommunications law academic in Australia has recommended for laws to be enacted criminalising the application of face recognition technology to visual images online that enable the identity of a person or people to be ascertained without their consent. An article published today in the International Journal of Law and Information Technology has looked at
