16:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical imaging contrast and elastography using optical coherence tomography
|
More Information
|
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging biomedical imaging modality that depth-resolves reflected light to produce images with micrometer-scale resolution and millimeter penetration depth into tissue. To enhance the capabilities of OCT, magnetic nanoparticles have been employed as (...)

15:30 - SEMINAR - Colloquium at ICRAR : AIGO and the structure of neutron stars
|
More Information
|
Neutron stars are of great interest to nuclear physicists, because the state of matter in their cores (a few times nuclear density, but very sub-relativistic temperatures) cannot be probed directly in terrestrial laboratories. Possibilities for this matter range from almost entirely nucleonic to (...)

15:45 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Radiation from dense plasmas
|
More Information
|
Plasma is the most abundant state of matter in the universe. While it can be found in many astrophysical objects, such as stars and giant planets, it is now also readily accessible in laboratories using intense ultra-short laser irradiation. Dense plasma is highly ionized matter near solid state (...)

15:45 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Low Enthalpy Geothermal Energy Under our Feet; the W.A. Geothermal Centre of Excellence's Projects in the Perth Metro Area
|
More Information
|
Metropolitan Perth sits above rocks of the Perth Sedimentary Basin. These rocks have significant moderate temperature geothermal waters at economically feasible depths associated with moderate to high natural hydraulic permeability aquifers. While not quite as attractive as regions near active (...)

15:45 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Effect of disorder studied with ferromagnetic resonance for arrays of sub-micron Permalloy discs
|
More Information
|
There is currently an intense interest in the magnetic properties of nanoscale and sub-micron discs of low aspect ratio. Such discs have potential applications in data storage, magneto-electronics and spintronics, and medicine, and are otherwise viewed as simple model systems by which the (...)

12:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : A Collaboration based on Red Sprites
|
More Information
|
Peter McLeish will discuss the nature of his collaboration based on Red Sprites.
Red sprites are upper atmospheric optical phenomenon associated with thunderstorms that have recently been only documented using low level television. The first images of a sprite were taken in 1989 and from (...)

15:45 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Black holes at the Large Hadron Collider
|
More Information
|
Brane world models in string theory suggest that our universe is a slice, or ‘brane’, of a higher-dimensional space-time. One consequence of these models is that the fundamental energy scale of quantum gravity may be within reach of current particle physics experiments. In particular, copious (...)

18:00 - PUBLIC TALK - Black holes at the Large Hadron Collider : Women in Physics Public Lecture
|
More Information
|
String theory suggests that our universe is but a slice of some higher-dimensional space-time. In this talk I will discuss why one consequence of these models is that copious numbers of mini black holes might be formed by collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We will describe how (...)

15:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : A New Paradigm for Exchange Bias in Polycrystalline Films
|
More Information
|
The phenomenon of exchange bias has remained something of a mystery since it was discovered in core-shell particles in 1956 [1]. Over the subsequent years many different models have been proposed to explain this effect, most of which agree with some experimental data that can be found in the (...)

13:00 - SCHOOL'S EVENT - Something Big is on the Horizon : Meet Australian Astronaut Andy Thomas at UWA - FULLY BOOKED!!
|
Website |
More Information
|
The University of Western Australia is delighted to offer high school students and teachers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Australia’s only astronaut, Dr Andy Thomas, at two special student and teacher events in September.
At the students event, we are able to invite up to 20 (...)
15:45 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Aiming for 18 significant figures with a doubly forbidden line in neutral mercury
|
More Information
|
The Observatoire de Paris has a long history of time keeping and today is one of the leading contributors to Coordinated Universal Time. A new clock on-the-block is that based on neutral mercury atoms. It is one of a new genre of atomic clocks that confines the neutral atoms in the Lamb-Dicke (...)

14:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Modeling for the Fast Ignition Approach to Laser Fusion Energy
|
More Information
|
Laser Fusion was first proposed in the early 70s as a means for the extraction of energy from the burn of thermonuclear hydrogen fuels in the laboratory. Long-pulse (nanosecond,) time-shaped laser beams would be used for the adiabatic compression of micrograms deuterium-tritium microspheres, and (...)
15:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : The Environmental Restoration Program at Los Alamos National Laboratory
|
More Information
|
In 1945, as a result of research and development carried out at Los Alamos, two nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan, successfully ending the Second World War. During the feverish activity for the creation of these devices, scant attention was paid to the legacy of waste materials hastily produced (...)
