Research Highlights

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

The Bureau of Meteorology is in the process of producing a reanalysis that allows us to look back at Australia's weather for the past three decades. Built using Australia's national weather forecast

One hundred million years or so ago in present-day Burma, a random assortment of insects, flowers, reptiles and even tiny dinosaurs became trapped in the oozing resin of trees in an ancient forest

NCI Australia user Dr Jenny Fisher is continuing to learn about chemical transport in the atmosphere using advanced models running on NCI's supercomputer. Following on from her earlier investigations

NCI’s expert scientific visualisation team is developing a virtual reality (VR) experience to let researchers dive right into their ocean datasets. The VR experience, developed alongside ARC Centre of

Geoscience Australia is developing the world-leading Digital Earth Australia (DEA) platform to provide satellite data and images of Australia for research, industry and government use. Spatial
