Research explains how some plants evolved to depend on fire for survival
Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.
New publication showcases survival and resilience of Indigenous cultural knowledge
A new publication The First Inventors, captures the story of how Indigenous knowledge shaped the Australian continent has been published. Based on the SBS and Channel 10 TV series, The First Inventors, it takes readers on a journey through 65,000 years of innovation, diplomacy and design.
Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
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.
Bushfire charcoal particles carried an unprecedented distance
Charcoal particles from recent bushfires in NSW were carried 50 kilometres by the wind, which has significance for fire history reconstruction.
