This program uses ANSTO’s nuclear capabilities to identify, quantify, and monitor the mechanisms which cause, or influence the development and progression of chronic diseases.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.

ANSTO and the National University of Singapore have signed an agreement to enable Singapore researchers to access ANSTO’s state-of-the-art beamline facilities at the Australian Synchrotron.

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.

A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.

Year 11 STEM student and aspiring physicist was given the opportunity of a lifetime to tour ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus and meet some of Australia’s top researchers.

A cross-disciplinary team has used laboratory-based and synchrotron-based infrared spectroscopy imaging techniques to monitor the waxy surface of living plant leaves in real-time to gain insights into plant physiology in response to disease, biological changes or environmental stress.

Retrieving an Antarctic ice core more than a million years old presents challenges and opportunities.

ANSTO has a new roadmap for future development of its sovereign infrastructure, capabilities and expertise.

The Australian Neutron Beam Users Group (ANBUG) presented annual awards to accomplished neutron scientists at the combined ANSTO User Meeting - AUM2023 held in late November 2023.

The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.

Nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) is a promising material for future biological and electrochemical applications.

The growth and incorporation of graphene into semiconductor device architectures has been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to grow it on suitable substrates.
