Total light absorption in a very thin absorber. When light falls on a very thin, uniform layer almost all of it is reflected (right-hand arrows). By etching thin grooves in the film, the light is directed sideways and almost all of it is absorbed (left-hand arrows) even though the amount of material

Simon Brandi Mortensen from NCI industry partner DHI has been recognised as one of Australia's top 50 most innovative engineers by Engineers Australia. The recognition is for work he has done on behalf of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, using NCI to model the grounding risk of large ships

The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) has received an $7M boost from the Australian Government, matched dollar-for-dollar by the NCI Collaborating partners. The funding will ensure the ongoing delivery of NCI's supercomputing services to more than 4,000 researchers in more than 80% of

After sweltering through Australia's warmest year to date, the National Computational Infrastructure's petascale contribution to Earth System Science has never been more critical. NCI's resolution to sustain breakthrough research in climate change is largely embodied within the availability and

MEDIA RELEASE Thursday 8 September 2016 The National Computational Infrastructure extends congratulations to the nine new ARC Centres of Excellence following today's announcement of a $283.5 million commitment by the Turnbull Government. NCI has a long and sustained record of supporting ARC Centres
