Experiments undertaken at the Australian Synchrotron have allowed research teams from Monash University and La Trobe University to clarify fundamental aspects of T-cell activation crucial to the body’s immune response to disease.

Million year lag time in transport of sediment in Murray Darling River Basin system.

The start of ANSTO’s research to support the Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) program commenced with the official launch of the program and the departure of two students from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), who are affiliated with ANSTO to Antarctica’s Macquarie Island for six months to collect environmental samples as part of the (SAEF) program.

Mathematical insights explain inconsistencies in experimental data: pyrochlore transformation into defect fluorite or not?

Thales Australia, a key supplier to the Australian Defence Forces, provided an industrial challenge to National Graduate Innovation Forum participants relating to the production of piezoelectric ceramic components used in naval sonar arrays and systems.

ANSTO’s National Deuteration Facility has been providing high-quality deuterated lipids used in the construction of cell membrane models to support research that improves our understanding of how the virus interacts with elements of the cell membrane, a relatively new area of investigation.
