Scientists at Griffith University have made a breakthrough in measurement precision, achieving a result that has been a major goal of the scientific community for the last 30 years. Published in Nature Photonics, researchers from Griffith University’s Centre of Quantum Dynamics have demonstrated that certain optical measurements using photons — or single particles of light […]

Hunting was not easy in a rainforest in ancient times but new research has found modern humans made a way for themselves in Indonesia. New evidence not only suggests that modern humans were present in Southeast Asia 20,000 years earlier than previously thought – but they were colonising dense rainforests at earlier ages as well. […]

Australia’s fastest camera has revealed the time it takes for molecules to break apart. The experimental research, conducted by Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, aims to help in the design of new molecules for materials science or drug discovery. The Centre is the only place in the country to have the machine in its […]

It came as no surprise to Associate Professor Chris Brown when esteemed British researcher Professor Sir James Fraser Stoddart was named as one of the three recipients of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Professor Stoddart’s areas of expertise are supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology, and Associate Professor Brown had worked with him on early research […]

Seven Year 10 girls from a Brisbane high school have gained an insight into life as a scientist at Griffith University. The University has joined forces with The Growing Tall Poppies program, making it the first Queensland partner. The program aims to increase the number of students studying science to year 12 and beyond into […]
