Light is incredible. It holds a special place in the Universe and may be used in a myriad of applications. This talk will give a snapshot of how light helps us face societal challenges and understand fundamental aspects of nature. Specific examples will be generating clean, sustainable energy, ultra-precise measurements at the limits of our physical understanding, early diagnosis of disease and tests to ensure our food and drink is the real McCoy!
Following the presentation, there will be light refreshments and a chance to participate in some interactive experiments and discussions with physicists working in Adelaide. For catering purposes, we ask that you RSVP via:Â
