Research Highlights

Satellite data is central to so much of modern life, including much of our environmental monitoring programs. From satellites, you can get data about vegetation, water and so much more. In fact, the

Universe’s Wayback machine Astronomers have discovered a star on the other side of the Milky Way that helps provide answers about the very first stars in the Universe. Located 35,000 lights years from

As a nation that has a strong connection to the ocean, we actually don’t know all that much about its structure. In particular, there are big gaps in our understanding about the intertidal zone – the

Materials scientists working at the cutting-edge of chemistry and physics need to drill down to the atomic level to properly understand the compounds they are dealing with. Materials scientists used

If we want to understand how devastating storms form and evolve, and how a changing climate might affect them, we need to go beyond the measurements that come from weather stations and sensors in

The Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) is Australia's national weather forecasting and climate prediction system, providing world-class modelling infrastructure to the

If you look at the sun through a sheet of paper, you can see the light shining through. Now imagine you take that sheet of paper and shave it into 720 separate layers, each 90 nanometres thick

In fundamental physics, theory and experiment go hand-in-hand. Without theoretical modelling, it's hard to come up with new ideas and move things forward. Experimental validation of theoretical

The complex task of developing future materials, built on the stable crystal forms of new molecules with outstanding properties, relies on the speed and power only available through supercomputing. By

Gas mask technology has existed for over a century yet the way they work has not changed very much. Originally, the filters used activated charcoal to adsorb – to chemically attract impurities to the
