Science supports species survival by tackling contaminants and developing ingenious approaches

THz - Far Infrared
The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.

The risks posed by stormwater runoff can be monitored with thin-film technology
A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.
ANSTO plastic trawling from Hobart to Sydney
Revealing the 'hidden half' of grain using imaging at ANSTO's Australian Synchrotron to benefit Australian agriculture
Professor of Soil Science at The University of Queensland, Peter Kopittke and partner investigator Prof Enzo Lombi of the University of SA are very optimistic about the use of a new synchrotron-based imaging technique that captures in 3D the complex interaction of soil and root.
Bushfire charcoal particles carried an unprecedented distance
Charcoal particles from recent bushfires in NSW were carried 50 kilometres by the wind, which has significance for fire history reconstruction.
