See the Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre Australian Phenomics Facility The Australian Phenomics Facility supports open access large-scale phenotyping of humans and mice to uncover the biological drivers in human disease. See the Australian Phenomics Facility Centre for Advanced Microscopy The Centre for Advanced Microscopy (CAM) provides state-of-the art microscopy and microanalysis equipment to researchers, students and industry partners. See the Centre for Advanced Microscopy Compounds ANU (CANU) Compounds ANU (CANU) aims to directly link the leading synthetic chemistry capabilities within the RSC to ANU medical and biological research programs primarily conducted within the RSB and JCSMR. See the Compounds ANU (CANU) Controlled Environment Facility The Controlled Environment Facility (CEF) houses 20 walk in growth rooms as well as 47 free standing growth chambers, two communal laboratories and two autoclaves. See the Controlled Environment Facility Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics laboratory is a purpose-built 400 sq. m laboratory for experimental fluid dynamics. See the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab Giant Magellan Telescope The Giant Magellan Telescope will be the world’s most powerful telescope, with a resolution ten times better than the Hubble Space Telescope. See the Giant Magellan Telescope Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility The HIAF comprises one of the world’s largest 14UD pelletron accelerators and a superconducting “booster” linear accelerator (LINAC) housed and operated by ANU. See the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility The Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility (JMSF) was created in 2016 by the Research School of Chemistry and Research School of Biology to consolidate and grow mass spectrometry facilities at ANU. See the Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility Makerspace The ANU MakerSpace is an initiative by the Research School of Physics and Engineering, where we know people learn by doing. See the Makerspace National Computational Infrastructure The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is home to the Southern Hemisphere’s most highly-integrated supercomputer and filesystems, Australia’s highest performance research cloud, and one of the nation’s largest data catalogues—all supported by an expert team. See the National Computational Infrastructure Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR has applications in all fields of the experimental sciences. It is the single most powerful technique available to chemists for studying the composition, structure and function of molecules. See the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Podcast Studio The CPAS Podcast Studio is open to staff and students throughout ANU (not just scientists!) to record and grow podcast series. Your success is our success: we want to help you make the biggest and best podcast series in the world. See the Podcast Studio Science precinct Our new $240-million science precinct on the ANU campus has state-of-the-art biological and chemical research laboratories, as well as a teaching hub. See the Science precinct Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) The Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) is a mass spectrometer used for in-situ analysis of geological materials. See the Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) SkyMapper SkyMapper is a state-of-the-art automated wide-field survey telescope that represents a new vehicle for scientific discovery.
