Two ANU researchers helping to develop faster and more powerful supercomputers and software that will power the technologies of tomorrow, have been awarded millions of dollars to advance their work as part of Australia's most prestigious research funding program.
For 20 years, some of the best mathematicians in the world have tried, and failed, to solve a famously difficult algebra problem. Now, an ANU professor has found the solution. But he's not that bothered by all the fuss. So why did he do it? And why should we care?
The award recognises research in the physical and biological sciences by outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander PhD students and early- and mid-career scientists.
Eamonn O'Brien, who received the B.H. Neumann Prize while undertaking his PhD at ANU in 1987, was recently interviewed on "The Neumann Talk" podcast about his experience at ANU under the supervision of Professor Mike Newman.
Physicists in the US briefly generated self-propagating nuclear fusion reactions in a lab. Professor Hole explains its implications for the future of nuclear fusion technology.
Dr Xia Hua, who recently won a prestigious Eureka Prize for her mathematics research, used to hate maths. What she really loved was frogs. Which is lucky, because it’s the frogs that helped to get her here.
