Details of upcoming physics and astronomy TEAtime lectures and workshops and videos of past TEAtime keynote lectures.
Lecture Summary: 2015 is the International Year of Light and therefore we will discuss how the fastest thing in the Universe can be used to overcome some of the World’s most interesting challenges. From optical computers (rather than electronic ones) to invisibility, this talk will explore one of the most exciting fields of current research: Metamaterials.
Metamaterials will play a dominant role in overcoming challenges in telecommunications, data processing and storage, imaging and even “camouflage”. Here we will go from the definition of Metamaterials to their application and how they can enable us to solve some of the presented issues. By presenting research activities ongoing in the Centre for Photonic Metamaterials, we hope a new vision on Light can shine on you
Lecture Summary: Exploring the interconnections between particle physics and astronomy. Explaining the Universe through particle physics.
