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
In a dark room flooded with black water in Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art stands a central dais with two cabinets that glow from within. To the left lies the mummy of Pausiris, dating to 100BC
As it girdles the planet linking the main oceanic basins, the Southern Ocean is a potent influence over the Earth's energy distribution system: this vast and still-enigmatic water body holds one of
When the world's leading climate scientists gather in 2013 to report to humanity on the consequences of its activities, a detailed understanding of the southern hemisphere and how it drives the earth
It is the exquisite structure of human bone, down to the smallest scale, that lends it its exceptional strength – or reveals its secret frailties. How strong or weak a material may be, how porous or
It will be a feat of cartography to rival the achievements of Captain James Cook, the most detailed map of the heavens ever compiled, charting a vast dome of stars extending from the equator to the
