A FREMANTLE-based wave energy company has received funding to commence operations for its grid-connected CETO Wave Energy Project, marking an important step for the technology’s future research and development as a viable energy alternative.

CREATORS of the world’s most advanced computational methods to model the interaction of positrons, a Curtin University team may revolutionise quantum physics by discovering which physical processes annihilate positrons.

PERTH scientists have made a breakthrough in quantum physics that will have significance for decades, says one of the top-three finalists for the 2010 Scientist of the Year award Professor Igor Bray.

THANKS to Curtin University of Technology, WA now has Australia’s only Institute of Theoretical Physics, and joins the ranks of global leaders in the research field.
