Research is being undertaken through an Australian Research Council Discovery Project "Reconstructing Australia’s fire history from cave stalagmites", led by Professor Andy Baker at UNSW Sydney and Dr. Pauline Treble at ANSTO. The project aims to calibrate the fire-speleothem relationship and develop coupled fire and climate records for the last millennium in southwest Australia.

The sap extracted from Sugar Maple trees, is used to produce maple syrup. There are many conflicting theories and an absence of experimental evidence, regarding the mechanisms involved in maple sap exudation.

Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.

Singapore researchers publish findings of link between proteins of archaea and eukaryotes despite being separated by more than 2 billion years of evolution.

ANSTO has contributed to the internationally-distributed handbook on plutonium published by the American Nuclear Society.

Korean physicists concluding placement at ANSTO under a collaborative agreement.

Particle induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) is typically run in conjunction with PIXE and RBS and is used to quantify concentrations of elements such as lithium, fluorine, sodium, magnesium and aluminium.

Development of new techniques makes it possible to date Australian Aboriginal rock art.

Ultra small angle neutron scattering on Kookaburra is used to study the size and shape of objects of size 10 micrometres and below.

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

Accurate ‘fingerprinting’ tool to verify source of origin is in development with collaborators from academia and industry.

ANSTO to receive a new grant to continue to fight chronic kidney disease killer in Sri Lanka.

ANSTO’s Innovation Precinct welcomes NSW Government’s $12.5 commitment funding.

Nuclear-based energy generation systems not only provide comparatively low-cost, low-carbon emission electricity but also provide substantial amounts of process heat.

ANSTO scientists share approach on the global stage at the IAEA General Conference.
