Making visible the impact of Australia’s national microscopy infrastructure
Through trust and identity, the impact of Australia’s distributed microscopy infrastructure will be revealed. Microscopy Australia is a consortium of university-based microscopy facilities that provides more than 3,500 Australian researchers a year, with access to state-of the-art microscopes. Through access to their facilities, crucial research is enabled in areas such as future energy innovations, improved […]
Unlocking the power of Australia’s Tier 1 supercomputer
Through a national framework for trusted identity, accessing one of Australia’s Tier 1 supercomputers will become easier. The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre (Pawsey) is one of two Tier-1 high-performance computing facilities in Australia. Its primary function is to accelerate scientific research for the benefit of the nation. Pawsey’s service and expertise in supercomputing, data, cloud […]
State support injects big cash for upgrades and new national research infrastructure
National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)-supported programs have received nearly $30 million in co-investment from the New South Wales and Queensland Governments through the NCRIS Support Program and Research Infrastructure Co-Investment Fund (RICF), respectively. Co-funding arrangements such as the NCRIS Support Program and RICF are another way that NCRIS ensures that spending on research infrastructure […]
Nanocluster Catalysts Remove Toxic Organic Chemicals from Wastewater
Water contamination from dyes used in food, cosmetics, textiles, and other production processes has become a major ecological problem. Numerous chemical companies, such as those that produce textiles, cosmetics, and dyes, discharge hazardous and non-biodegradable dyes into the environment. Azole dyes, including methyl orange, make up over half of the dyes used in the textile […]
Centre for Accelerator Science (ANSTO – Nuclear Science Facilities)
ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science (CAS) is one of two landmark research infrastructure facilities supported by NCRIS through the funded Nuclear Science Facilities (NSF) program. CAS provides ultra-sensitive sample characterisation, dating, materials modification and irradiation to research and industry users from Australia and the world to solve complex questions and problems.
Therapeutic Innovation Australia (TIA)
Therapeutic Innovation Australia (TIA) is the lead agent for the NCRIS “Therapeutic Innovation Australia” project. TIA a national consortium of translational research infrastructure that provides researchers and SMEs the expertise and capabilities required to move a potential therapeutic product along the development pathway.
National Deuteration Facility (NDF)
ANSTO’s National Deuteration Facility (NDF) is an NCRIS funded program which created and supports Australia’s only molecular deuteration facility. NDF provides access to landmark infrastructure and expertise for chemical and biological deuteration capabilities, facilitating world-leading research for Australian users to address complex challenges in industrial, medical and environmental applications.
Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ANSTO – Nuclear Science Facilities)
ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is one of two landmark research infrastructure facilities supported by NCRIS through the funded Nuclear Science Facilities (NSF) program. ACNS uses neutrons from Australia’s multi-purpose research reactor, OPAL, to solve complex research questions and industrial problems for Australian and International users. Neutron scattering techniques allow the structure and dynamics of materials to be determined, permitting scientists and industry to understand why materials have the properties they do, and helping tailor new materials, devices and systems.
National Imaging Facility (NIF)
National Imaging Facility (NIF) is Australia’s advanced imaging network. We provide open access to world-class imaging equipment, expertise, tools, data and analysis. We address Australia’s strategic science and research priorities, and this benefits Australian industry and helps keep Australians healthy.
Australian Access Federation (AAF)
The Australian Access Federation (AAF) is Australia’s leading provider of identity and access management services to the education and research sector. We make it easy for people to securely access education and research services nationally and internationally, by providing single sign-on. It allows individuals from different organisations to collaborate and access online resources within a trusted environment.
