Research Highlights

Quantum computers are poised to become a powerful tool for scientific and industrial computing in coming years. What was for decades a theoretical concept is finally becoming a physical reality

There’s no easy way to test the effect of an earthquake on a building or landscape. The amount of energy is so large and the structures are so complex that computational simulations are the only way

Australian health care is moving towards using genomics for diagnosing and treating rare diseases and cancers. However, the majority of reference datasets currently available feature mostly European

NCI Australia is proud to support incredible Australian research through the 2021 Australasian Leadership Computing Grants (ALCG). The highly competitive Grants will allow researchers to work on some

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
