  1. Reconfigurable image processing metasurface

    In work just published in Nature Communications, a collaboration between University of Melbourne, CUNY, and RMIT University has demonstrated a metasurface that can be switched between edge detection and producing a conventional image. The device integrates a thin film of VO2 that undergoes a phase change at around 68C altering its optical properties opening up […]

  2. New article on nanoparticle-enhanced photodetection in transparent nanosheets

    Work led by Dr Nitu Syed has demonstrated enhanced UV and visible photodetection in ultrathin (< 3nm) nanosheets of SnO2 by integrating plasmonic gold nanoparticles onto their surface. The outcomes have been published in ACS Applied Nano Materials.

  3. Congratulations to Shaban Sulejman – new Fulbright Scholar!

    Last week in Canberra, PhD student Shaban Sulejman was announced as a 2024 Fulbright Future Scholar and recognized by the US ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy. Shaban will be taking up the scholarship later in the year to work with TMOS Partner Investigator Professor Andrea Alu at CUNY.

  4. New ultra-thin ammonia sensor

    In work led by McKenzie Fellow, Dr Nitu Syed, researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have developed a gas sensor using atomically thin transparent two-dimensional (2D) tin dioxide film. The material has a thickness of only 2 nanometres which is 50000 times thinner than a paper. Reducing the thickness to […]
