What's happening in physics?

The School of Physics aspires to excellence and leadership within three broad themes: the new quantum revolution; the quest for new physics and symmetries; and new ways of seeing and understanding the physical world. The school is host to a number of prominent research centres, including the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-Ray Science and the CRC in Biomedical Imaging Development. It also plays a prominent role in the development of the Imaging and Therapy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.
