New facility will greatly enhance Australia’s capability in stress engineering for industry

Following your experiment at the Australian Synchrotron there are certain tasks that users can complete including a user feedback survey and claiming reimbursement for travel expenses.

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

Elucidating molecular basis of the complex viscoelastic properties of polymers

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

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.

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.
