ANU scientists have used Raijin to work out exactly how pain relief drugs, such as anaesthetics, interact with nerve cells. Dr Ben Corry and Lewis Martin developed a detailed computer model that

Using NCI's Raijin supercomputer, researchers from CSIRO, the ARC Centre of Excellence in Climate System Science, together with collaborators from China, India and Japan, have predicted that natural

When the deadly tsunami that caused the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant meltdown in 2011 was observed spreading across the Pacific Ocean, it travelled about 2% slower than conventional computer

Long, spiny legs and alien-like armour sound like the stuff of science fiction, but our terrestrial neighbours can look out of this world if you look up close. ANU School of Art PhD student, Erica

The NCI high performance computers are enabling geophysicists at Geoscience Australia to finally be able to fully use the vast amounts of geophysical data that has been acquired over the Australian

Until sustainable green energy sources overtake fossil fuel usage our daily power production will rely on this increasingly valuable hydrocarbon resource. An Australian innovation in digital rock

The NCI high performance computers are enabling remote sensing scientists and engineers at Geoscience Australia to 'unlock' years of archival satellite data, and to utilise highly sophisticated

Over billions of years, plants have perfected the process of using water and sunlight to produce an endless supply of hydrogen. The secrets to this clean, green energy source have remained locked

Scorpions and other venomous creatures have somewhat of a PR problem. Staring down at a scorpion, pincers raised and tail poised for attack would strike fear in the hearts of many. But what if the
