The science of fireworks
There is chemistry at work to help us enjoy the New Year's Eve celebration.
Materials in extreme environments
Material researchers at ANSTO use a range of in-house capabilities in the development, testing and characterisation of existing and emerging materials for extreme environments of the novel nuclear (fission/fusion) based energy-generation systems.
Materials in extreme environments
Materials researchers focus on development, performance and in-service degradation of nickel-based superalloys, reinforced carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC).
Air Quality
Research to detect and measure air pollution, the composition the atmosphere and mixing in the atmosphere.
Nanostructure explains the behaviour of molecules with liquid-like properties
ANSTO has supported research led by a University of Sydney team who gained insights into how oil molecules retain their ‘liquid-like’ properties when they are chemically attached as an extremely thin layer to solid surfaces.
Highlights - Energy Materials
Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.
Radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis contribute to Antarctic research
Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.
Evidence of earliest Aboriginal occupation of Australian coast
Evidence of the earliest occupation of the coasts of Australia from Barrow Island, Northwest Australia.
Australia's nuclear agency welcomes 2015/16 budget
Synchrotron reveals an elusive molecular chameleon
A closer look at the scientific power of nuclear and accelerator techniques
In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.
Triggers of tree mortality revealed
Advanced imaging technique used to study triggers that lead to tree death
Unique immune system of the alpaca being used in COVID-19 research
Scientists from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) are using the unique immune system of the alpaca and techniques at the Australian Synchrotron as part of research using antibodies to disrupt COVID-19 viral entry into cells.
Graduate profile - Monica Hibberd & Hamish McDougall
Monica Hibberd and Hamish McDougall are working together on research into greener and more efficient energy and battery technology.
First fully analysed data sets from BILBY
Particle Induced Gamma Ray Emission
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.
Sample mountings
Our sample mountings include: sample changers, selecting a cell, and sample position sticks.
ANSTO scientists share thoughts on Oppenheimer film
New imaging approach using live plants will benefit agriculture and environment
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.
