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.

Advanced imaging technique used to study triggers that lead to tree death

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.

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.

Monica Hibberd and Hamish McDougall are working together on research into greener and more efficient energy and battery technology.

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.

Our sample mountings include: sample changers, selecting a cell, and sample position sticks.

Close to 3000 members of the public decided to have a look at a building that is shaped like a doughnut, is as big as a football field and creates light more powerful than the sun when the Australian Synchrotron held its bi-annual Open Day held on Sunday, 16 October.

Dr Andrew Smith has just finished collecting ice cores and snow samples on the summit of Law Dome in Antarctica,

Radioactive phosphorous for implantable medical device to treat pancreatic cancer in global clinical trial

Ongoing media statements relating to nuclear medicine production.

SVSR is seeking a highly motivated engineering candidate with excellent communication skills to help better understand and manage odour emission from sewer ventshafts.

ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the use of an ion accelerator as a powerful mass spectrometer.

ANSTO has a role in the global monitoring system on behalf of Australia to ensure non-proliferation of weapons and that nuclear technology is only used for peaceful purposes.
