The first talk in the series, by Kirrily Rule (FLEET/ANSTO)

FLEET pushed out the boundary of online talks, collaborating with the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) to co-host a series of monthly public seminars highlighting Australian physics research.

The new series throws the spotlight on a different Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence each month, with AIP members and others in the physics community joining over Zoom to hear about leading Australian research.

To date, over 300 audience members have heard from eight researchers, each spotlighting physics innovation from their own ARC Centre of Excellence (COE).

FLEET Partner Investigator Kirrily Rule (ANSTO) opened the series in May with the use of neutron scattering in developing novel materials for low-energy electronics. Her talk was followed by presentations from EQUS, the ARC COE for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), CQC2T, the ARC COE in Exciton Science and the ARC COE for Climate Extremes (CLEX).

This series is continuing in 2021, beginning with the three newest physics COEs: All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (Astro 3D), Dark Matter Particle Physics and Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS).
