Dynamic tomography: high-resolution, four-dimensional imaging of processes. This project will develop imaging technology that allows us to collect detailed, three dimensional movies of complex, microscopic processes in a laboratory. This technology will have applications in soil science, biology, oil extraction, and carbon sequestration.
Auger, Quantum Electro-Dynamics, Axions and New Technology. New technology developed by Australia, Sweden and the United States will be applied to major questions about the application of relativistic quantum mechanics to atomic structure and dynamics and spectroscopy, especially including critical issues in quantum electro-dynamics for atomic physics and applications.

New technology developed by Australia, Sweden and the United States will be applied to major questions about the application of relativistic quantum mechanics to atomic structure and dynamics and spectroscopy, especially including critical issues in quantum electro-dynamics for atomic physics and applications. Discrepancies in quantum electro-dynamics have dominated international debate for decades, with claimed explanations annually failing to reveal the cause. Also a pattern of discrepancies has been seen at X-ray energies in first row metal atoms, with a similar sign and magnitude. A combined experimental an theoretical investigation will aim to reveal new light on these anomalies and serve to develop our understanding of the universe.Read moreRead less
Engineering evolving complex network systems through structure intervention. This project aims to create a theory and technology for engineering complex network systems (CSS) through structural intervention. Complex network systems with evolving components are ubiquitous in nature and society. The science of biological networks, the Internet and large-scale power networks demand tools to understand and influence their evolving dynamics. This project could result in a breakthrough theory in netwo ....Engineering evolving complex network systems through structure intervention. This project aims to create a theory and technology for engineering complex network systems (CSS) through structural intervention. Complex network systems with evolving components are ubiquitous in nature and society. The science of biological networks, the Internet and large-scale power networks demand tools to understand and influence their evolving dynamics. This project could result in a breakthrough theory in network science and technology to augment biological systems and power grids.

This project aims to develop a breakthrough methodology and new technology to analyse and integrate large-scale network systems, such as power grids, that involve large networks of components with switching connections. The project expects to create a new theoretical framework to tackle the challenges arising from switching topology resulted from switching connections, and methods to understand their behaviours and design intervention strategies to achieve optimal outcomes. The expected outcome is a practical technology for industry applications, such as smart power grids. This should increase the reliability and resilience of the electricity networks against faults and cyber attacks.
