Professor Stefan Maier from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy has been elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, one of the nation’s highest honours for scientific achievement.

The funding will support two projects led by researchers from the School of Physics and Astronomy in partnership with industry, designed to advance next-generation technologies in energy-efficient computing and optical imaging.

An international team of scientists from the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA collaborations has shown for the first time that gravitational waves, ripples in space and time produced by some of the most violent events in the Universe, such as the collision of

New research led by Monash University has now addressed recent international debate over whether bees are truly assessing numbers or simply reacting to visual patterns.

A common mineral hiding in plain sight could hold the key to making copper production cleaner, faster and more efficient, just as global demand for the metal surges to power the energy transition.

In most food science courses, students develop a product first and only later test whether consumers actually want it. But at Monash University, that sequence is being flipped.

Researchers from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy have flipped a long-held assumption in optics, showing that deliberately introducing controlled disorder into ultra-thin optical devices can dramatically increase their power and

An international team led by Monash University has uncovered evidence of a rare form of exploding star, helping to shed light on one of the most cataclysmic events in the Universe.

A common antidepressant detected in rivers and streams worldwide is disrupting how fish learn, and the impact is strikingly one-sided.
