Monash scientist earns Stephen Wilkins PhD Thesis Medal for innovative brain imaging

Dr Linda Croton, a Research Fellow at Monash University, has been awarded the 2020 ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis medal for her outstanding work using synchrotron-based X-ray for brain imaging.

Air pollution sampler installation in Papua New Guinea

Australia's nuclear agency welcomes 2015/16 budget

Japanese scientists collaborate on self-healing ceramics for nuclear reactors

ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.

Research confirms that ancient Tasmania was not a ‘wilderness’ but an Indigenous cultural landscape

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.

New antibody-like molecule which could be used in therapy to prevent infection from multiple forms of malaria

The protein mapping workhorses of the Australian Synchrotron, Macromolecular and Microfocus crystallography beamlines, MX1 and 2, continue to support important biomedical research in the development of vaccines and new therapeutics.

Advanced materials research in microgravity earns NASA recognition

A pioneering study led by Professor Junpei Yamanaka of Nagoya City University and an international team that included ANSTO has delivered transformative insights into the behaviour of colloidal particles under microgravity.

OPAL multi-purpose reactor

Australia’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to achieve a range of activities to benefit human health, enable research to support a more sustainable environment and provide innovative solutions for industry.

New flow chemistry capability saves deuteration time with high yields

The National Deuteration Facility has developed a capability to use a flow chemistry process to increase efficiency, increase production capacity and reduce decomposition in the synthesis of deuterated molecules.

International researchers overturn assumptions about the structure of most widely used hydrogel

Research confirms that methylcellulose, one of the most widely used hydrogel-forming materials in biomedical research and consumer products, organises itself into a structural architecture
