Common drug source of insights into formation of 'butterfly' crystals

Insights into the crystallisation process of twin crystals important for drug production.

Jarosite on Earth and Mars

Useful in some mineral processes but a major problem in others, jarosite may be the key to unlocking the geological history and environmental context of water on Mars.

International collaboration identifies potential threat to water quality

A major study has identified urbanisation and climate change as future threats to drinking water quality.

Powerhouse Museum used powerful non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques to gain information about significant Aboriginal cultural belongings

A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.

Research explains how some plants evolved to depend on fire for survival

Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.

Evidence of quantum state in spin cluster chain

Phenomenon predicted by Nobel Prize recipient

Radiocarbon is a powerful tracer for ocean circulation and climate studies

Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).
