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.

Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.

An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought  greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.

Recent research investigating what occurs at the interface of the uranium oxide fuel pellet and the surrounding cladding supports efforts to increase the burnup level of nuclear reactor fuel.

Groundwater experts from ANSTO and UNSW have led a collaboration of Australian and American researchers to analyse the composition of deep, very old groundwater and develop a new conceptual framework that describes the degradation of carbon over time in the subsurface.

Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.

Dr Rezwanul Haque, now a senior lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, received a national Young Scientist Award for his earlier research using nuclear techniques at ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering to find cracks and signs of stress in riveted joints in sheet metal in car bodies.

Recent studies led by the University of Melbourne have revealed that the Palawa people’s ancient land stewardship techniques have profoundly shaped the landscape of western Lutruwita, within the traditional territories located in Tasmania.

A large team of international researchers have used synchrotron techniques to understand how key proteins contribute to the virulence of the rabies virus, sometimes called the “zombie virus.”

International fusion researchers, including  ANSTO’s Dr Richard Garrett, have recently returned from ITER in France where they attended a meeting of the coordinating committee of the International Tokomak Physics Activity (ITPA).

Dr Luiz Bortolan Neto, a structural materials engineer at ANSTO has received an Industry Partnership award for his significant contribution to defence science at the DMTC annual conference in Canberra, last week.

Following a decade of imaging to support research and clinical trials at ANSTO and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre at Camperdown, two PET scanners have been transferred to the University of Wollongong.
