Research to understand how contaminants move through the soil and affect ecosystems and humans as well estimating emissions.

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.

More than 3,200 solar panels have been installed across the rooftops of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) Australian Synchrotron in Clayton, offsetting enough power to light up the whole MCG for more than five years.

Atomic structure of new cathode material for sodium ion batteries helps explain long life

Highly accurate non-invasive nuclear technique helps validate theoretical model for optimised laser material deposition in additive manufacturing.

Improving aquaculture for food production in Papua New Guinea

A team of scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) has discovered how a powerful “weapon” used by many fungal pathogens enables them to cause disease in major food crops such as rice and corn

ANSTO provides a range of capabilities using neutrons, X-rays and infrared radiation to study the solids, liquids and gases that might be found in materials in our solar system and beyond.

ANSTO has been granted a patent in Australia and a number of European countries for the separation, a key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing, actinium-227, from process liquors used in minerals extraction.

Elucidating molecular basis of the complex viscoelastic properties of polymers

A cross-disciplinary team has used laboratory-based and synchrotron-based infrared spectroscopy imaging techniques to monitor the waxy surface of living plant leaves in real-time to gain insights into plant physiology in response to disease, biological changes or environmental stress.
