Interactive 3D holograms are a staple of science fiction — from Star Wars to Avatar — but the challenge for scientists trying to turn them into reality is developing holograms that are thin enough to work with modern electronics. Now a pioneering team led by RMIT University’s Distinguished Professor Min Gu has designed a nano-hologram…
Liquid Metals Could Be the Future of Electronics
While building a shape-shifting liquid metal T-1000 Terminator may still be far on the horizon, the pioneering work by researchers at RMIT University is setting the foundation for moving beyond solid state electronics towards flexible and dynamically reconfigurable soft circuit systems. Modern electronic technologies like smart phones and computers are mainly based on circuits that…
