Investigating a prospective light-weight fire retardant material with superior properties
Scientists from UNSW and ANSTO have characterised the structure of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonites, and nitrides (MXenes) materials, that could be used as a lightweight fire-retardant filler and in energy storage devices.
Leading fine particle pollution monitoring reaches 30yr milestone & looks to the future
ANSTO commenced an aerosol sampling program thirty years ago this week to characterise these pollutants and ultimately, identify their sources, which has taken it to the forefront of environmental monitoring of this type in Australia and the region.
Meet an Expert
Let your students lead a 30-minute Q&A session with our ANSTO experts about one of the following three topics:
- Nuclear medicines
- Nuclear techniques to study the environment
- Fission and its applications in reactors
Our staff are experienced science communicators and can discuss ANSTO's research with secondary classes at an appropriate level of detail.
Please ensure your students do some pre-reading about the research topic and come prepared with questions to ask during the session. We also ask that teachers send us a copy of the student questions the day before, so we can adequately prepare for your session.
Teachers must be present during the session with their students.
