Groundbreaking research published today in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology by the Museums Victoria Research Institute and Monash University unveiled a landmark discovery – fossils of the world’s oldest known megaraptorid and the first evidence of carcharodontosaurs in Australia.

Researchers from UNSW have found an extraordinary material that does expand or contract over an extremely wide temperature range and may be one of the most stable materials known.

The first demonstration of reversible symmetry lowering phase transformation with heating.

A team of ANSTO health researchers, staff at the Centre for Accelerator Science and Dr Melanie Ferlazzo, a postdoc from the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and scientists from the French Space Agency (CNES), are collaborating on investigations to determine the impact of secondary particles on human cells using the new microprobe beamline at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science.

The physics and chemistry used at ANSTO is built upon, in significant part, by pioneering female scientists who were sidelined, expelled, or simply not credited appropriately for their achievements.

The process by which plastic degrades in the ocean facilitates its entry into the natural carbon cycle efficiently as carbon dioxide.

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.

ANSTO has made progress on a more cost-effective way to produce the medical radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), with less enrichment of uranium-235 (U-235) and produce less waste. 

ANSTO is interested finding students to collaborate on Generation IV reactor systems.

Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.

The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013 aims to promote integrity and accountability in the Australian Public Sector by encouraging the disclosure of information about actual or suspected wrongdoing, protecting people who make disclosures and ensuring that disclosures are properly investigated and dealt with.

Nuclear techniques will be crucial tools in the development of advanced materials that sustainably convert waste heat into useful forms of energy to benefit Australia.

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.

In part 1 of this two-part series, ANSTO scientists from across the organisation became film critics to review Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Oppenheimer, which explores the life of the director of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic weapon.

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.
