Join the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip in Melbourne for public talks and a hands-on quantum and dark matter experience!

Australian scientists are working on cutting edge quantum and dark matter research right here in Melbourne. Join us for an immersive event showcasing the science behind two of the most fascinating frontiers in physics. You will hear talks from two experts and have the opportunity to drop in either before or after the talks to experience some hands on physics demonstrations and talk to scientists exploring the invisible universe from the search for dark matter, which makes up 85% of all matter, to the powerful role of quantum technologies in unlocking its secrets. This event invites audiences of all ages to go behind the scenes of world-class research and witness how new experiments are pushing the boundaries of what we know about the cosmos.

The schedule for the day is as follows:

11.00am-12pm: Demonstrations drop in
12.00pm-1:00pm: Public Talks with Q&A from Professor Nicole Bell and Dr Dan McCloskey
1.00pm-2:00pm: Demonstrations drop in

Date: Saturday 22nd August 2026
Time: 11am–2pm
Venue: Theatre B117, Glyn Davis Building, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC, 3010 (B117, Maps)
