Much of the research to be supported lies in areas of national priority, including frontier technologies and Australian environmental sustainability.Read moreRead less
Energy, Cosmic Censorship and Black Hole Stability. Human progress is achieved by confronting fundamental questions, at the leading edge of knowledge. This project will lead to better understanding of space-time physics, and of the properties of singular solutions of non-linear hyperbolic equations. Such equations govern a wide range of physical phenomena, including fluid flow, weather and electromagnetic fields.

Environmental stability of nanoscale materials for catalysis and sensing. After two decades of research, the first wave of 'nanotechnology' consumer products are entering the market, and large quantities of nanoparticles (less than millionth of a centimetre in size) are now being produced annually. However, before any new product can be manufactured, we need to know how stable engineered nanomaterials are before we bring them into our home, or we find them (unintentionally) free in our waterways ....Environmental stability of nanoscale materials for catalysis and sensing. After two decades of research, the first wave of 'nanotechnology' consumer products are entering the market, and large quantities of nanoparticles (less than millionth of a centimetre in size) are now being produced annually. However, before any new product can be manufactured, we need to know how stable engineered nanomaterials are before we bring them into our home, or we find them (unintentionally) free in our waterways and other ecosystems. For the first time, this project uses high performance supercomputing and advanced theoretical modelling to predict the stability of nanomaterials under a wide range of environmental conditions, to help safe guard Australia from potential 'nano-hazards' associated with these tiny pieces of matter.Read moreRead less
