    Most school science textbooks present a classical interpretation of energy. While this provides a good approximation for describing macroscopic phenomena, it does not accurately depict the Einsteinโ€™s mass-energy (E=mc^2), nor Planckโ€™s quantisation of energy (E=hf) relationships. For instance, it overlooks the subtle change in mass between reactants and products in a chemical reaction....

    Physics lab courses have become an integral part of physics education. Recent studies have suggested that labs in physics education have little impact on learning, particularly when intended to reinforce content knowledge, which becomes the most widely adopted goal. This encourages institutions to reevaluate the implementation of physics lab courses, since they are time-consuming, demanding,...

    Historically, superconducting systems have been tackled using mean-field approximations, which presents physicists with a persistent issue: the mean-field. Often, assumptions are made about the mean-field Hamiltonian of superconducting systems; thus, for a description to be completely rigorous and physical, the mathematical consistency of the mean-field Hamiltonian must be verified. While...

    Superconducting magnets are essential for many solid-state quantum research efforts, but conventional systems impose significant constraints on experiments. They occupy the majority of the available experimental volume of a dilution refrigerator, increase the time taken to cool and warm a cryostat, and limit a fridge to a single magnet โ€” and therefore a single experiment โ€” at a time....

    The Australian and New Zealand Institutes of Physics (A&NZIP) Condensed Matter and Materials Conference (colloquially known as "Wagga"), began in 1977 as the "AIP Solid Sate Physics Meeting", following an idea from two CSIRO Scientists to create an opportunity in Australia for young researchers to present their research to fellow solid state physicists in a "friendly" environment. While many...

    Metasurfaces provide a versatile and lightweight alternative to conventional optical components, making them attractive for future space-based imaging, sensing, and communications systems. However, their use in space requires confidence that the nanostructured optical surface can withstand the mechanical and thermal environments experienced during launch and operation of a space-based payload....

    Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become increasingly prominent as a promising route within the photovoltaics field owing to their attractive combination of cost-effective, high-power conversion efficiencies and tuneable bandgaps. Among them, carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) are rapidly gaining recognition as a highly exciting architecture for realizing low-cost, stable, scalable...

    The Higgs boson plays a unique role in the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM), which describes the fundamental building blocks of the Universe. Postulated in 1964, the Higgs defied discovery for around 50 years, until it was observed at CERNโ€™s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012. Much has been learned about the Higgs in the years since its discovery, but much remains to be learned. A next...

    The high mass of tauons means that many of the low-$n$ tauonic atom wavefunctions overlap significantly with the nucleus, making tauonic atoms ideal probes of nuclear structure. We begin with simulations of the cascade from the initial state to the ground state to show that a measurable number of tauons would reach the $1s$ orbital before decaying via the weak force. We also do sample fits to...

    Despite knowing the importance of surveys in improving not only their university experience and quality, many students, persistently choose to decline this offer. This is especially pronounced in the context of giving feedback on tutor experiences in their classes, likely due to nervousness and uncertainty of confidentiality of their feedback.
    Hence, as educators it has always been a...

    Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) will require millions of interconnected qubits operating together with high fidelities. Qubits in silicon quantum dots promise high qubit density and integration with on-chip classical control electronics. A key barrier to scaling this technology is device overheating: above 1K, qubit coherence declines significantly. Increased power dissipation in...

    Black hole thermodynamics provides a useful way to test whether different quantum-gravity-inspired resolutions of the classical singularity lead to distinguishable physics. In this talk, I will discuss the thermodynamics of polymerized vacuum regular black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime, with emphasis on their Hawkingโ€“Page phase structure.

    The construction extends an...

    Visible red fibre lasers remain relatively uncommon despite their importance for spectroscopy, biomedical imaging, and quantum technologies. Existing fibre-based red sources are predominantly based on Prยณโบ-doped fibres operating near 635โ€“640 nm, while the well-established Heโ€“Ne laser provides emission at 632 nm. In contrast, efficient fibre laser source around 670 nm, remain unavailable, to...

    Perfect vortex beams (PVBs) effectively break the restriction where the annular ring size expands with increasing topological charges by reshaping the spatial spectrum of conventional orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. However, conventional generation approaches typically rely on complex extra-cavity modulation systems, and the PVBs are strictly constrained to the Fourier plane, precluding...

    High density superconducting memory systems are one of the un-met requirements for large scale quantum computing systems. The integration of ferromagnetic materials alongside the conventional superconductors (Nb, Al) offers potential solutions, particularly regarding density. However, one of the challenges inherent in developing these ferromagnetic and superconducting systems is the need to...

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide a unique one-dimensional platform for investigating mesoscopic superconductivity in quantum conductors. When contacted by superconducting electrodes, CNTs form Josephson junctions with only a few spin-degenerate transport channels, making them an ideal system to probe superconducting phenomena at the microscopic level. However, despite this promise, the reliable...

    High temperature superconductors (HTSCs) have exhibit a wealth of fascinating macroscopic phases that can change abruptly under slight variations in experimental parameters. Unlike conventional BCS superconductors, the HTSCs are not fully theoretically understood, with the nature of the glue enabling Cooper pairing and the origin of the pseudogap state yet to be definitively found, among other...

    The quark-gluon vertex is an indispensable component of quantum chromodynamics. It is one of the four fundamental interaction vertices of the theory, encoding the interactions between quarks and gluons. Despite the significance of the quark-gluon vertex, the full, non-perturbative structure is incomplete.

    The tensor structure of the quark-gluon vertex can be decomposed into a...
