Summary
The Australian Virtual Observatory. The Australian Virtual Observatory, which is part of the International Virtual Observatory is an ambitious program to consolidate all astronomical data online, in a form which will be accessible to both professional astronomers and also to the wider public. The project will link data, computational resources, high level software and people in an advanced network, which will maximise investment in one of Australia's highest profile scientific programs.
CP Symmetry Violation in Strange B Meson decays at the Belle Experiment. This research exploits very recent development in high energy physics to formulate new tests on the limits of our understanding of matter-antimatter symmetry violation in our universe. The researchers have internationally recognised expertise in distributed Grid computing, which has been pioneered by the high energy physics community, and is now finding wide deployment in other scientific fields.

The researchers have internationally recognised expertise in distributed Grid computing, which has been pioneered by the high energy physics community, and is now finding wide deployment in other scientific fields. Deployment of a Belle Data Grid will provide true international interoperability with national Grid infrastructure, and substantial opportunity for expanded international collaboration on eresearch infrastructure. High Energy Physics also provides post-graduate students with the best possible exposure to leading international researchers.Read moreRead less

An explosion in the rate of data acquisition in disciplines such as astronomy will require new database structures and management systems. Scientists require fast access and analysis of data from many different telescopes, instruments and theoretical modelling packages. The new directions being explored internationally are based on datagrids, where individual nodes house the physical data archives and expertise, but are networked into a unified system, providing open access to all astronomers. Australian e-Astronomy will provide Phase 1 of a project to develop an astronomy datagrid in Australia, linking to the powerful programs which have just commenced in Europe, UK and the USA.Read moreRead less

Understanding the Behavior of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Liquids. The imminent manufacture of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) at prices comparable to those of high-performance polymers such as Kevlar, will open up potential applications of SWNTs as high-performance fibres and coatings. A major challenge is the development of scalable processes for producing large objects made of SWNTs.

The imminent manufacture of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) at prices comparable to those of high-performance polymers such as Kevlar, will open up potential applications of SWNTs as high-performance fibres and coatings. A major challenge is the development of scalable processes for producing large objects made of SWNTs. This project, in collaboration with researchers at Rice and Stanford Universities, aims to understand the principles that underlie the successful liquid state processing of SWNTs. The novel strategies that arise will cement Australia's position as a leading country for research in nanotechnology, and place it at the forefront of this field, with great potential for economic advantage.Read moreRead less

We will design and deploy an online web portal within which custom galaxy formation models can be constructed by anyone in the community for their own work. Support for this proposal will strengthen theoretical astronomy in Australia at a time when increased theoretical infrastructure is needed to fully capitalise on Australia's significant observational investments.
