Researchers are drawn to pursuing physics at RMIT for a multitude of reasons. Our reputation for producing ‘above world standard’ research in the field of condensed matter physics precedes us (Excellence in Research Australia). Other areas of excellence include photonics, geophysics, biophysics and medical physics.
In addition, RMIT has an ever-expanding capacity to prepare researchers in the realm of quantum information – an emergent field driving future discoveries.
Our physicists are focused on forging efficient solutions within real world contexts.
Guided by global experts and specialists, RMIT researchers are developing more advanced optical and electronic coatings to improve the surface of objects people rely on everyday, examining the use of microbeams to better target moving cancer cells and pioneering ways to detect the location of mineral sources from the sky.
Just like the materials we study, there are endless opportunities to explore.
Physics projects currently being undertaken by the School of Science.
The aims of this project are to synthesise new carbohydrate-based surfactants optimised for use as cryoprotectants, and to accurately measure, model and optimise their performance.
This project aims to develop a next-generation nanoscale voltage sensor to address a fundamental challenge in biomedicine - measuring neuronal signals non-invasively in real-time and over hours.
The overall aim of this project is to investigate the molecular level design of friction modifiers for a new generation of industrial lubricants.
RMIT University is a node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics.
The Theoretical Chemical and Quantum Physics Group aims to pursue fundamental and applied research at an international level in the field of theoretical quantum, chemical and condensed-matter physics.
This Centre aims to implement quantum processors able to run error corrected algorithms and transfer information across networks with absolute security.
The Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science is funded by the Australian Research Council to bring together researchers and industry to discover new ways to source and use energy.
FLEET addresses a grand challenge: reducing the energy used in information technology, which now accounts for 8% of the electricity use on Earth and is doubling every 10 years.
