A team of researchers from ANSTO and University of Technology Sydney have set a record by conducting thin film experiments at 1100 degrees C.

Four international authorities will deliver plenary addresses virtually at the 15th International Conference on Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS15) , which will be held online from 15-19 November.

Researchers developing new materials and devices that can withstand the harsh radiation environment in space are using the unique ANSTO’s capability to simulate the effects of high-energy ion irradiation on the properties and performance of these materials and devices.

The Scientific Computing team supports researchers by performing numerical simulations that complement experimental research. In particular, we use state-of-the-art software to perform computational quantum mechanical modelling, molecular dynamics simulations, lattice dynamics calculation, data analysis and visualisations.

New screening method developed to confirm if deuteration improves metabolic stability.

Phenomenon predicted by Nobel Prize recipient

Evidence of the earliest occupation of the coasts of Australia from Barrow Island, Northwest Australia.

International palaeontologists have used advanced imaging techniques at ANSTO’S Australian Synchrotron to clarify the role that the earliest fruit-eating birds of the Cretaceous period may have had in helping fruit-producing plants to evolve.

Recent studies led by the University of Melbourne have revealed that the Palawa people’s ancient land stewardship techniques have profoundly shaped the landscape of western Lutruwita, within the traditional territories located in Tasmania.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

Collaboration finds that old carbon reservoirs are unlikely to cause a massive greenhouse gas release in a warming world.

The National Deuteration facility is assisting with the establishment of a Japanese Chemical Deuteration Facility.

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.

ANSTO is part of collaboration conducting experiments to redefine the kilogram linking it to a fundamental constant of nature.
