Research reveals how disordered proteins contribute to the properties of the rabies virus
A large team of international researchers have used synchrotron techniques to understand how key proteins contribute to the virulence of the rabies virus, sometimes called the “zombie virus.”
Synchrotron reveals an elusive molecular chameleon
Beamline Proposal & Experiment Guide
Guide to successful proposals and experiments at the Powder Diffraction beamline.
Investigating radiation in the air we breathe
Radioactive radon gas is a decay product of uranium and thorium, which are found naturally in rocks, soil and building materials. Radon is a significant component of background radiation and can accumulate in poorly ventilated indoor environments. In this data set, we investigated the effect of charging a balloon, which was then hung in an enclosed space, on its level of radioactivity.
Students will:
- Write a hypothesis, graph data, write a conclusion
- Use provided information to answer questions about radioactivity and radon
- Discuss experimental design, accuracy, validity and reliability
Another secondment to European Spallation Source
Association award to neutron scientist
Professor Vanessa Peterson, Senior Principal Research and Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist and Leader of the Energy Materials Research project, has been awarded the Bob Cheary Award or Excellence in Diffraction Analysis by the Australian X-ray Analytical Association. She is the first female to be chosen for the award.
Sea level rise predicted to dramatically speed up erosion of rock coastlines by 2100
New research published a team from the Imperial College London, University of Glasgow and ANSTO suggests that rock coasts, which make up over half the world’s coastlines, could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise.
Deuterated monoolein enables research into protein structures
Infrastructure - Magnetism
Investigations of various aspects of magnetism can be conducted on all neutron-scattering instruments at OPAL.
Study of polar ice confirms carbon-climate feedback
Investigators have verified and quantified the relationship between the Earth’s land biosphere and changes in temperature and provided evidence that temperature impacts the cycling of carbon between land, ocean and the atmosphere.
Technology pioneered at ANSTO
Technology at heart of award-winning wastewater innovation from BioGill.
Koala - Laue Diffractometer
