Research Highlights

Researchers have used Raijin to find new ways to understand how organic surfaces get dirty. A combination of organic synthesis, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging, density functional theory

Researchers from Adelaide University have used Raijin to work out how to control the transport of molecules across membranes using a 'light switch'. These artificial smart membranes harbor

Researchers are using supercomputing to stop fungal pathogens in their tracks and help secure our food crops. Alison Testa from Curtin University has developed a sophisticated, self-training software

Encouraged by computations carried out on Raijin, ANU chemists have created a star-shaped molecule previously thought impossible to make. The work could lead to more efficient ways to make medicinal

Volcanic ash is entirely different from the bushfire or backyard barbeque ash that most Australians are familiar with. It's abrasive and corrosive rock, formed from small particles of fragmented lava

Scientists have used Raijin to reveal the complex chemistry behind one of nature's best kept secrets—the chemical sparkplug that plants use to make energy. New research from The Australian National

With some help from Raijin, an international team of scientists studying ultrafast physics have solved a mystery of quantum mechanics, and found that quantum tunneling is an instantaneous process. The

One of science's unresolved questions – Where did all of the antimatter at the origin of the Universe go? – may now be explored with the help of NCI. Professor Igor Bray, Head of Curtin's Department

Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease. As the bones become thinner and less dense, they become exceedingly fragile. Painful fractures and breaks are a constant risk. Luckily, bones are pretty amazing
