Synchrotron research reveals how heat-evolved algae respond to warming

A research team led by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) has found that heat-evolved algae maintain more stable biomolecular profiles under elevated temperatures than their non-evolved (wild-type) counterparts, providing new insights into how they withstand heat stress.

Radiotracers

Radiotracers

ANSTO provides a range of radiotracers for pre-clinical and clinical research using the OPAL multipurpose reactor. Users can access more than 300 known radiotracers. If a starting material is provided, new and non-commercial radiotracers can be produced.

Updates on developments in small modular reactor technologies

There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.

Radioactive capsule goes missing in Australian outback

A tiny 8mm by 6mm radioactive capsule went missing in January 2023, somewhere along a 1400 kilometre journey from Rio Tinto’s Gudai-Darri iron ore mine to its final destination in Perth, Western Australia. Find out how ANSTO's CORIS360® technology identified the exact location of the missing source.
