Research Highlights

It's a ground-breaking fact most people don't know: Australia already has the means to run on 100% renewable energy. "When I started my thesis in 2010, the idea that all of our electricity needs could

Malignant melanoma represents only 15% of skin cancers but it accounts for almost all skin-cancer deaths, and Australia has the highest mortality rate from malignant melanoma worldwide. That's one of

Computational science has played a key role for NCI users who have been awarded fellowships under the Australian Research Council's (ARC) Future Fellowship scheme. "The Future Fellowship scheme plays

Researchers from ANU have discovered the oldest known star in the universe, with a little help from NCI. The discovery gives us clues to what the universe was like in its infancy, 13.7 billion years

How could Swiss cheese found in a butterfly wing affect the colour of your car? Butterflies are pretty unassuming. They flit about, discreetly sipping nectar and quietly soaking up some sun. So who

New research shows projected changes in the winds circling the Antarctic may accelerate global sea level rise significantly more than previously estimated. Changes to Antarctic winds have already been

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
