Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

Artefact reveals resilience of Aboriginal cultural knowledge
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.
Distinguishing black carbon sources
MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.
Students tackle a real-world challenge regarding dissimilar-metal corrosion in a project supported by BlueScope
Study of polar ice confirms carbon-climate feedback
Investigators have verified and quantified the relationship between the Earth’s land biosphere and changes in temperature and provided evidence that temperature impacts the cycling of carbon between land, ocean and the atmosphere.
Significant milestone for Australia's new nuclear medicine manufacturing plant
Plans continue to repatriate medical and research radioactive waste
Australia’s nuclear agency ANSTO is continuing to lead planning efforts to repatriate what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive from the United Kingdom in 2022.
