Distinguishing black carbon sources
MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.
Research could lead to better herbicides and infection treatments
The 3D structure of a fungal and plant enzyme solves 50-year-old mystery.
Explaining glaciers of solid methane and nitrogen on Pluto
Research reports for the first time how solid methane and nitrogen expand in response to temperature changes and resolves an historic ambiguity relating to the structure of nitrogen.
Some surprises about the degradation of microplastics in our oceans
The process by which plastic degrades in the ocean facilitates its entry into the natural carbon cycle efficiently as carbon dioxide.
The world’s best radon detector just got smaller
The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.
Taipan - Thermal Triple Axis Spectrometer
Taipan is used to study the collective motion of atoms, phonons and magnons in materials, and phase transitions and processes involving thermal energy.
OPAL reactor back online after planned long shutdown
ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose research reactor at Lucas Heights has officially returned to power and recommenced operations, following a months-long planned shutdown to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades.
Visit our Sydney facilities
ANSTO's Sydney locations are home to the Open Pool Australian Light-water (OPAL) multi-purpose reactor, the Centre for Accelerator Science (CAS), the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering, the National Research Cyclotron and the National Deuteration Facility.
Samples - Infrared microspectroscopy
The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline
Stopping yellow spot fungus that attacks wheat crops
Collaborators used X-ray imaging to understand the fine detail of how a damaging fungal pathogen reduces leaf function and grain yield of wheat crops.
Excavation of dark matter lab completed
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.
The risks posed by stormwater runoff can be monitored with thin-film technology
A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.
Part 1: An explanation of the three-body problem featured in science fiction series
Two ANSTO physicist explain the three-body problem as featured in science fiction series of the same name
Nanoindentation + modelling = innovation for industry
Modelling and experimentation - a powerful combination in probing mechanical properties of ion irradiated materials through nanoindentation.
