WA outback proves no match for Aussie nuclear know-how
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.
Understanding how a common food additive causes changes in the microbiome
ANSTO has collaborated on a study assessing the impact of the commonly-used food additive titanium dioxide (TiO2) on gut microbiota and inflammation.
Research highlights how to make food different and better by design
International researchers have used nuclear techniques at ANSTO - a centre for food materials science - to develop a methodology that could assist in the design of oleogel systems for food applications.

Researchers uncover how pathogens hijack phosphate pathways to infect crops
A team of scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) has discovered how a powerful “weapon” used by many fungal pathogens enables them to cause disease in major food crops such as rice and corn
Understanding how adaptive immune cells recognise and interact with the SARS CoV-2 virus
A team of scientists led by Monash University and the University of Melbourne in association with the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity have made progress in clarifying the molecular interactions that underpin how our adaptive immune cells recognise SARS CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.
