Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials
The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.
Restarting a nuclear reactor series: It’s all in the preparation and slow and careful actions
ANSTO recently re-started the OPAL Reactor after a six-month shutdown for essential maintenance and the installation of an upgraded facility.

Studying Western Australian caves to help us understand climate change
On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.

Infrared microspectroscopy
The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.
