Research Highlights

The interplay between land ice, sea ice, oceans and the atmosphere plays a big role in determining the weather of coming seasons, and the climate of coming decades. The melting of ice sheets impacts

Once the COVID virus enters the body, it binds to and enters a cell, and starts producing copies of itself. Each new viral particle that is released can then bind to a new cell, and thus the infection

Solutions to the problems we face can come from the strangest of places. The natural world has created an incredible array of molecules and proteins, some of which we can use to our advantage to

The turbines and generators that power our planes and electrical grids are a marvel of precision engineering and refinement. For decades people have been building turbines to power their homes

The ability to create and control fire was one of the earliest human technologies. For more than a million years we’ve been using flames to cook and power our lives. In the last few hundred years

For the second year in a row, NCI’s supercomputing and big data infrastructure plays a central role in the winning entry of the prestigious Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize. The winning artwork

Challenge Much the same as a ‘bit’ in classic computing, a ‘qubit’ is used to encode information in quantum computing. Manipulating these qubits in a circuit for computation can be achieved using

Teaching computers to understand language is no easy task. Humans learn and develop their language skills instinctively as children, but developing that ability for a computer system is very hard

Australia’s need for a powerful and predictive bushfire modelling capability has never been clearer. The 2019-20 bushfire season showed just how widespread, unpredictable and terrifying bushfires can

This was originally published via the ANU newsroom. A new study by an international team of researchers has used computer power to map the so-called "sonic scale", showing the key role turbulence
