Quantum Entanglement of Protons Studied by Electron Scattering at High Momentum Transfer. Eighty years after the establishment of quantum mechanics protons in matter are still largely seen as 'classical' particles, that do not interfere in ways known to occur for light and electrons.

Eighty years after the establishment of quantum mechanics protons in matter are still largely seen as 'classical' particles, that do not interfere in ways known to occur for light and electrons. There are indications from neutron and electron scattering experiments from solids that, for extremely short time scales, (one-millionth of a nanosecond), this picture is too simple. The proposed experiment seeks to establish this fact for molecules in the gas-phase. As the chemical bond is formed at similar time-scales these experiments will improve our understanding of chemical reactions, and hence be of great value for the chemical industry.Read moreRead less
Molecular Energies and Non-Bonded Interactions. The development of new techniques that allow non-bonded chemical interactions to be modelled and predicted reliably and accurately will allow researchers in the chemical, and pharmaceutical sciences to predict the physical and chemical behaviour of moderately large molecular systems with an accuracy and efficiency that has not previously been possible. The software that will result will enable cost and time savings in molecular design within the m ....Molecular Energies and Non-Bonded Interactions. The development of new techniques that allow non-bonded chemical interactions to be modelled and predicted reliably and accurately will allow researchers in the chemical, and pharmaceutical sciences to predict the physical and chemical behaviour of moderately large molecular systems with an accuracy and efficiency that has not previously been possible. The software that will result will enable cost and time savings in molecular design within the medical and agricultural contexts.Read moreRead less

Summary
High-accuracy spectroscopy under extreme conditions: combining novel synchrotron and laboratory-based spectroscopy. This project aims at maintaining the leading position of Australia in nationally important fields such as ore and environmental geology, ore processing and metallurgy, nano- and bio-technology. This project aims to establish an integrated set of state-of-the-art, often unique and revolutionary new tools, taking in particular advantage of local innovation in instrumentation and spec ....High-accuracy spectroscopy under extreme conditions: combining novel synchrotron and laboratory-based spectroscopy. This project aims at maintaining the leading position of Australia in nationally important fields such as ore and environmental geology, ore processing and metallurgy, nano- and bio-technology. This project aims to establish an integrated set of state-of-the-art, often unique and revolutionary new tools, taking in particular advantage of local innovation in instrumentation and spectroscopy theory, of the investment in major facilities (Australian Synchrotron). By improving cross-disciplinary links among research groups interested in in-situ spectroscopy (Earth Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Biomedicine, Engineering), this application will results in major scientific and industrial advances.Read moreRead less
