Researchers from the new ARC Centre of Excellence in Climate Extremes are leveraging NCI's huge supercomputing power to perform world-leading ocean simulations. They are using more than 500 computer-processing cores in parallel over thousands of hours to investigate fine-scale turbulence and...

Researchers are using new gene sequencing technology alongside high-performance computing at NCI to understand the genetics of one of the world's most devastating plant diseases: wheat stripe rust. Wheat stripe rust is caused by a fungus that affects the leaves of wheat plants, affecting the plants'...

Researchers from The Australian National University, along with international colleagues, have used a combination of ocean modelling and genetic data to transform our understanding of Antarctica's ecological isolation and ocean drift. The researchers used DNA samples from kelp washed up on Antarctic...

Researchers from the Geospatial Analysis for Environmental Change Lab at the University of New South Wales have previously used satellite image time series data and NCI's supercomputer to calculate 26 years of water availability across the Murray-Darling Basin (published here by Tulbure, Broich et...

A new study performed at NCI has found that an increase in average wind speeds well within the range predicted by the end of this century as a result of climate change could lead to abrupt physical changes in the Southern Ocean, with significant implications for climate change. Research by Dr...

New research involving the NCI Australia supercomputer could hold the key to unlocking the power of enzymes, allowing them to potentially be used to break down toxic pollutants or heal wounds faster. Enzymes can help speed up chemical reactions, making them an essential part of every living organism...

Cutting-edge supercomputing has always been at the core of the National Computational Infrastructure's mission. Our high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, coupled with high-performance data services, bridges the gap between science fiction and reality. For thousands of Australian...

A team of researchers from the University of Melbourne, RMIT, CSIRO and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (Germany) have designed, prepared and described the first reported example of a particular, light-reactive chemical compound using a mix of experimental observations and computational models run...

A team from the University of Sydney has used the NCI supercomputer to develop a wound repair material that helps speed up healing. The team, led by Professor Tony Weiss, McCaughey Chair in Biochemistry in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences and Charles Perkins Centre at the University of...
