The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.

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.

Neutron and gamma ghost imaging are important scientific developments reported in two publications, and the subject of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant awarded to a team that includes ANSTO scientists

Publications, posters and conference presentations for fire impacts reconstructed from a southwest Australian stalagmite.

An accomplished international photographer has capture dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at our Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used.

An initiative for National Science Week 2024 the Shorebirds Competition addresses the 2024 theme for National Science Week, ‘Species Survival’ and provides unique cross-curricula learning for Australian primary students in Years 3 to 6.

Phase contrast tomography shows great promise in early stages of study and is expected to be tested on first patients by 2020.

ANSTO recognises local Indigenous heritage in new mural

A dedicated team of radiation specialists from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) are behind the successful detection and rapid retrieval of a missing radioactive source in outback Western Australia.

Sample environments, Data analysis, SpICE and SICS

A collaboration of Australian scientists has used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron to measure the amount of carbon that is captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone, which acts as a carbon sink.

An international team of academic researchers led by Curtin University have provided a description of a new species of pterosaur, a flying reptile.

Australia’s best known carnivorous dinosaur Australovenator is under the microscope at ANSTO

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
