Global not-for-profit water and maritime engineering organisation DHI is using NCI to model currents and waves to understand the risks of ships coming aground on the Australian coast. Working with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), DHI is trying to help them understand where the risk...

Scientists have discovered a way to solve a problem that has baffled humans for so long it is mentioned in the Bible: achieving the most efficient packing of objects such as grains and pharmaceutical drugs. Lead researcher Dr Mohammad Saadatfar from The Australian National University (ANU) said the...

Energy storage and energy generation technology is improving thanks to the work of Professor Maria Forsyth and her group from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science. "What we do in my group is look at electric conductivity in ionic materials. This ionic conductivity is important...

Working as part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-Sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO), scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) are learning about the formation of a certain type of supernova by modelling its explosions on Raijin. Type Ia supernovae remain a mystery to astrophysics...

The high rate of ice melt along the West Antarctic Peninsula is being driven by strengthening winds on the opposite side of the continent, new research performed at NCI suggests. The research, published in Nature Climate Change, has revealed how strengthening winds on the opposite side of Antarctica...

In our transition to a more-carbon neutral environment, the development of new building materials for the collection of solar energy is a big goal. Incorporating passive solar energy collectors into aesthetically pleasing building materials opens up new possibilities of renewable energy use and...

A new study led by The Australian National University (ANU) has found that plants are able to forget stressful weather events to rapidly recover. The study confirms the research team's hypothesis for this work published last year, and the findings could help scientists better understand how plants...

The world's most important protein is getting an upgrade. Despite it being the most abundant protein in the world, we are still getting to the roots of how Rubisco, the protein at the heart of photosynthesis, works. As a critical component in the 3.5 billion-year-old photosynthesis process of...

Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have found the creation of a Great Forest National Park would deliver the best environmental and economic returns to Victoria from its Central Highlands. They found the economic benefits of the native forests outweighed the economic benefits...
