Infinite zoom into the infinitely small

This digital artwork, created by Australian artist Luke Conroy and supported by C2N, offers a visual experience based on an infinite zoom—a gradual journey into the infinitely small. Designed from photographs submitted by C2N staff, it embodies a process of collaborative creation. The work takes the form of a collective visual memory, composed of fragments of everyday life in the laboratory. It reflects the research conducted at C2N, where each …

Magnetic Whirlpools Create Their Own Rhythms, Revealing New States of Matter

Study in Science shows how tiny magnetic structures can generate exotic quantum-like states on their own. Physicists at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), working with European collaborators, have discovered a surprising new way to control magnetism at the nanoscale. In a study published in Science, the team shows that microscopic “magnetic whirlpools” can create entirely new states of motion by using their own internal dynamics when …
