Accelerator technique useful for biomedical engineering
Accelerator technique used in pioneering biomaterials research led by the University of Sydney.
Progress on hydrogels
Research confirms heating can increase strength of a type of hydrogel.
Aboriginal inhabitants of Madjedbebe, northern Australia used different ways to adapt to environmental change
ANSTO has contributed to research that indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies, allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last ca. 65,000 years.
National medical facility to triple production of radiopharmaceuticals
2017 ANSTO, Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Medal awarded
PHD student Dr Leonie van ‘t Hag has been awarded the prestigious 2017 ANSTO, Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Medal for her PhD thesis.
Safeguarding the future of nuclear medicine production
The Government is safeguarding Australia’s sovereign capability to produce vital nuclear medicines by launching a $30 million project to design a new world-leading manufacturing facility to be built at Lucas Heights in Sydney.
Synchrotron techniques provide insights into swifter battery charging
New research published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology shows that the next generation of lithium-sulphur (Li||S) batteries may be capable of being charged in less than five minutes, instead of several hours as is currently the case.

Monitoring air pollution and traffic density in Sydney
ANSTO Environmental Researcher Scott Chambers uses a naturally-occurring radioactive gas called Radon-222 to trace sources of pollution in the atmosphere. This data set contains hourly observations of meteorology, trace gas pollutants, Radon-222 concentration and traffic density collected from Western Sydney University (Richmond campus) in 2016.
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.
Analysis of fingermarks with synchrotron techniques provide new insights
A new study by researchers from Curtin University using the infrared (IR) and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron has provided a better understanding of the chemical and elemental composition of latent fingermarks.
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.
