It is proposed to install a fully immersive three dimensional visualisation facility in Adelaide, at a cost of $5.3 million including requested ARC contribution of $696,005. Applicant Institutions (Adelaide, Flinders, UniSA and Curtin universities) and Industry will provide the remainder.
The facility will support South Australia's leading scientific researchers in the sciences, engineering, business management, carbon dioxide sequestration, petroleum exploration and production, space environment, bioinformatics, architecture, surgery, dentistry, archaeology and arts.
The facility will enable researchers and industry to significantly leverage other projects leading to much improved research outcomes and efficiency, potentially worth a hundred million dollars or more.

ARC Centre of Excellence - Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies. While our world is made of matter, all particles have anti-particles and the most abundant is the positron, the electron's antiparticle. It is the "workshop" for most anti-matter studies, particularly for the characterization of materials, including gases, polymers, insulators, thin films and surfaces, as well as the development of new and novel, nano-structured materials. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies ....ARC Centre of Excellence - Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies.

It is the "workshop" for most anti-matter studies, particularly for the characterization of materials, including gases, polymers, insulators, thin films and surfaces, as well as the development of new and novel, nano-structured materials. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies (CAMS) will bring together key Australian and international scientists to work in this emerging scientific field of antimatter-matter interactions. It will forge a unique and effective scientific team for state-of-the-art studies of the nano-world that underlies many everyday processes and new technologies.Read moreRead less
Collision data for lighting industry and plasma modeling. The project's primary aim is to progress the design of more efficient
and environmentally friendly light sources. Given the number of light
sources in use worldwide even a small improvement in the efficiency
could lead to enormous benefits to society via reduction of energy
consumption. Design of new mercury-free light sources will eliminate a
major neuro-toxin pollution source. Collaboration with research groups
at the OSRAM-SYLVA ....Collision data for lighting industry and plasma modeling. The project's primary aim is to progress the design of more efficient

could lead to enormous benefits to society via reduction of energy

at the OSRAM-SYLVANIA Corporation (USA) and Sheffield University (UK)
will herald the beginning of industrial application for our successful
atomic collisions research program. The previous substantial ARC
investment towards this fundamental science program has now enabled
practical application.Read moreRead less
