Maxim Goryachev—ARC Future Fellowship Award

Congratulations to Maxim Goryachev who has been awarded Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship funding. His project aims to investigate and develop materials and techniques required for construction of a solid-state nuclear isomer transition clock together with emergent applications. These next-generation advanced clocks, gained a lot of attention after 2023, promising to surpass all existing atomic systems in precision, in a more reliable package. Leveraging international collaborations, it will provide a foundation for both a practical device and fundamental knowledge of an engineered nuclear quantum system. This project will advance Australia’s position in time keeping, the backbone of modern communication, commerce, defence systems, metrology and fundamental science providing nation resilience to interactions in access to stable time scales.

A total of three Future Fellowships were awarded to UWA for 2025.
