Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations
The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.
Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials
The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.
Innovator in energy and sustainability uses power of synchrotron light to make advances
Million-year-old ice core recaptures climate history
Retrieving an Antarctic ice core more than a million years old presents challenges and opportunities.
Specialist expertise and capabilities at ANSTO enable an understanding and improvement of current and advanced nuclear fuel materials
With a well-established portfolio of nuclear research and the operation of Australia's only nuclear reactor OPAL, ANSTO scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research on fuel for current, advanced, and future nuclear technology systems.
Evaluating the impact of nanomaterials on health and the environment
ANSTO has put together a robust multidisciplinary approach to understanding the impacts of nanomaterials, investigating a common food additive, E171 titanium dioxide, used primarily as a colouring agent in everyday foods.
Funding backs ANSTO‑led program to develop new treatment for deadly brain cancers
ANSTO has secured a $1.62 million Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) grant under the Australian Brain Cancer Mission’s 2024 Brain Cancer Discovery and Translation program
Trace element analysis and surface characterisation
Ion beam analysis techniques can be used for trace element analysis and the surface characterisation of diverse materials.
Scientists untangle the challenging complexities of radiocarbon in ice cores
Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.
