What is an exciton? And how do we use them to generate renewable energy?

Find out and go behind the scenes of an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence, starting with the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science.

Exciton Science researches better mechanisms to manipulate the way light energy is absorbed, transported and transformed in advanced molecular materials.

ARC Centres of Excellence empower researchers and scientists to make important progress in fields that will equip Australia and the rest of the world with the capacity to overcome the significant challenges facing humanity and the planet in the 21st century and beyond.

But who are the people at the forefront of knowledge creation in these vital fields?

This video series, Q&ARC, will take you to leading universities and institutions, and offer a unique chance to get to know some of the brightest - and most curious - minds in the country.

You’ll learn what motivates them and how they work together to make a big impact on the global stage.
