Research makes it possible to assess if and how rocky coasts, which make up the majority of the world’s coasts including Australia and New Zealand, will respond to changes in marine conditions.

Researchers from the University of Wollongong have improved a high voltage cathode material to deliver structural stability and an unprecedented electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in work that is extendable to other types of energy storage materials.

Thales Australia, a key supplier to the Australian Defence Forces, provided an industrial challenge to National Graduate Innovation Forum participants relating to the production of piezoelectric ceramic components used in naval sonar arrays and systems.

Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.

A selection of research highlights, instrument news and technical developments for scientists.

One of ANSTO’s most accomplished scientists and internationally recognised energy researchers, Prof Vanessa Peterson, has been awarded the Nancy Millis Medal for Woman in Science by the Australian Academy of Science this week.

A collaboration of scientists from RMIT, ANSTO and the CSIRO has published pioneering research that brings new insights into intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions (IDPs)/ (IDRs) and how they behave under various physiological processes.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.

On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.

Radiocarbon dating of mud wasp nests was used as an indirect method of dating the Gwion Gwion style.

Rutherford backscattering primarily provides information about the concentration of elements VS depth in a light material.

Neutron scattering helps clarify the arrangement of magnetic vortices, skyrmions, in material
