Research Highlights

NCI Australia is supporting the Australian and international research community undertaking COVID-19 research through the provision of streamlined, prioritised and expedited access to computation and

NCI’s Drishti VR technology, a custom-designed tool for visualising volumetric datasets in virtual reality, is now being used to teach students about the structures of different kinds of wood. Three

THE CHALLENGE: Where did modern humans first come from? Our development was determined by a combination of genetics, environment and climate, forces acting in concert over the millennia to lead us to

THE CHALLENGE: Satellites have been orbiting the earth for decades, all the while taking pictures of the ground below. The pictures they take get processed and stored, and after a while, archived

Decades of scientific measurements that once languished in desk drawers in offices around the country are now available at NCI through a concerted data rescue effort. The measurements in question are

THE CHALLENGE: How do stars form? In clouds of gas millions of kilometres across, over millions of years, how do stars form? We know that gravity and electromagnetism and chemistry, pulling together

THE CHALLENGE: We see so much of the world around us at the large scale, but never really think about the complexity taking place at the atomic level. So it is, for example, with bone formation. A

NCI supports the research community through our code optimisation expertise, modifying the code of popular software to enable more efficient running at the large scales of our supercomputer. ModEM3D

Auto-immune diseases, such as lupus, are frequently genetically complex and can be caused by different mutations in many different genes, making it hard to identify the pathway that leads to these

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
