For more than 1,000 years, the study of light has led to discoveries that have revolutionised society and broadened our knowledge of the universe. The International Day of Light is an annual celebration on 16 May, promoting a better understanding of the physical, social and artistic uses of light and the ways in which we can harness it to create a brighter, more sustainable future.
This International Day of Light, discover how Griffith is contributing to sustainable development through our vast body of research on light, including the Centre of Quantum Dynamics’ breakthrough research on using photon quantum measurement techniques to improve measurement precision.
