CQT Organizes Annual Competition with Global Scientific Partners and Media Partners

The Centre for Quantum Technologies has made an announcement about a call for entries to the Quantum Shorts flash fiction competition. The competition is open to stories up to 1000 words long drawing inspiration from quantum physics and it should include the phrase "There are only two possibilities: yes or no".

New Study Discovers Giant Exoplanets with Dusky Debris Disks

There's no map showing all the billions of exoplanets hiding in our galaxy -- they're so distant and faint compared to their stars, it's hard to find them.

Scientists Review State-of-the-Art in Polarimetry to Study Cosmic Dust and other Celestial Bodies

The solar system is full of various small bodies such as planetary moons, main belt asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, Centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects and comets. To study them, scientists typically analyse the radiation they reflect, which is referred to as polarimetry. Scientists not only focus on the intensity of the scattered radiation, but also on how photons oscillate in the plane perpendicular to their direction of propagation - that is, their polarisation.

Adding Plasmonic Metamaterials to Spintronic Devices Could Enhance Spin-Current Generation

Over the last few years, researchers have demonstrated that light can serve as a spin-current generator, creating currents of angular momentum, in optical nanostructures known as plasmonic absorbers, opening up a new branch of spintronics called opto-spintronics.
