Research confirms that ancient Tasmania was not a ‘wilderness’ but an Indigenous cultural landscape
Recent studies led by the University of Melbourne have revealed that the Palawa people’s ancient land stewardship techniques have profoundly shaped the landscape of western Lutruwita, within the traditional territories located in Tasmania.
Advanced materials research in microgravity earns NASA recognition
A pioneering study led by Professor Junpei Yamanaka of Nagoya City University and an international team that included ANSTO has delivered transformative insights into the behaviour of colloidal particles under microgravity.
‘Atomic chicken-wire’ is key to faster DNA sequencing
An unusual and very exciting form of carbon - that can be created by drawing on paper - looks to hold the key to real-time, high throughput DNA sequencing, a technique that would revolutionise medical research and testing.
Promising new proton conductor for next-generation fuel cells
ANSTO has contributed to work by scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology on a promising proton conductor for next-generation ceramic fuel cells.
Volunteer Week: Part two
Nuclear tech helps power Perseverance Rover on Mars
A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.
ANSTO joins international counterparts in peaceful nuclear monitoring
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has joined a team, lead by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to install a high resolution monitoring system at ANSTO’s medical isotope production facility in Lucas Heights, Australia.
