The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

Elucidating molecular basis of the complex viscoelastic properties of polymers

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

Four annual awards in neutron scattering were announced at Australian Neutron Beam Users Group (ANBUG) and AINSE Neutron Scattering Symposium (AANSS) to individuals with strong links to ANSTO

Primary students across Australia were invited to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia for our 2020 Shorebirds Competition. In response to COVID-19, and the changes to children’s learning environments, we opened the competition early and also included categories for individual children to enter, as well as school children.

Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.

Professor Vanessa Peterson, Senior Principal Research and Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist and Leader of the Energy Materials Research project, has been awarded the Bob Cheary Award or Excellence in Diffraction Analysis by the Australian X-ray Analytical Association. She is the first female to be chosen for the award.

A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.

An international research collaboration between the University of New South Wales (UNSW), the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) and ANSTO has provided insights into the performance of advanced material for use in the high-temperature environment of molten salt systems.

Research confirms that fraudulent Kakadu plum extracts are in circulation online and in the international marketplace.

With all excavation completed and rock removed from the underground site, the physics lab will now be built within the caverns of the Stawell Mines site.

Atmospheric scientists have developed a new technique to measures the naturally-occurring radioactive gas radon for use in accurately categorising the degree of atmospheric mixing.

Imaging protocol assesses molecular mechanism of work in the treatment of deadly childhood cancer neuroblastoma.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

Dharawal Mural tells an ancient story. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that webpage contains images of people who have died.

Researchers from ANSTO and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have uncovered the likely mineral composition of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, revealing a world of exotic organic crystals unlike any found on Earth.
