Nanotechnology
Unique properties of substances at the nanoscale
Study how scale and the properties of materials are linked, and how this leads to unusual and unexpected behaviour of materials. Explore how nanoscale materials can be exploited in a range of developing applications, and gain insight into how nanotechnology could play a role in solving key global issues.
Nature and Beauty of Mathematics
Enter the Fourth Dimension
Look at the mathematics beyond the reality you see, such as 4-dimensional tesseracts, hyperbolic space, and hotels with an infinite number of rooms.
Biotechnology
The genetic code for life
Examine the structure and function of the cell, DNA and proteins and the development and uses of genetic technology. Develop skills to decipher this information and further understand the code for life.
Neuroscience
How the brain works
Explore some of the big ideas in neuroscience and unleash your brainstorm: How do we image the brain and can we see thoughts? How do sleep and chemicals affect the brain? Bionic brains – how can we replicate senses and understand illusions?
