The 2005 Nobel prize was awarded for high-precision spectroscopy and a critical test of QED in light atomic systems. This led to dramatic applications to constants of nature and Quantum Optics. Our research has also developed state-of-the-art detector and spectrometer technology in pursuit of fundamental knowledge, but in the X-ray regime. We will make major progress for heavy atomic systems. Applications include the development of a few-electron calibration lamp, widely discussed as a new energy standard. These studies provide data, physical insights and highly skilled personnel for Australia's future in frontier technologies. Our fundamental research has led to two orders of magnitude improvement in mammographic diagnostic accuracy.

2005年诺贝尔奖授予高精度光谱学和QED在轻原子系统中的关键测试。这导致了自然常数和量子光学的戏剧性应用。我们的研究还开发了最先进的探测器和光谱仪技术，以追求基础知识，但在X射线制度。我们将在重原子系统方面取得重大进展。 应用包括开发一种少电子校准灯，作为一种新的能量标准被广泛讨论。这些研究为澳大利亚未来的前沿技术提供了数据、物理见解和高技能人才。我们的基础研究使乳腺X线诊断准确性提高了两个数量级。
