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

Advanced X-ray techniques have revealed new structural details about the specific arrangement of atoms in conjugated polymers, an important class of materials that are used in LEDs, organic solar cells, transistors, sensors and thermoelectric power devices.

La Trobe University researchers have used the Australian Synchrotron in a new study that reveals how crocodiles resist fatal fungal infections with a unique pH sensing mechanism despite living in filthy water.

More than 3,200 solar panels have been installed across the rooftops of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) Australian Synchrotron in Clayton, offsetting enough power to light up the whole MCG for more than five years.

PhD candidate Vienna Wong is using her FutureNow Scholarship to research ultra-high temperature ceramics, which are emerging materials for extreme environments.

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.

Airbus Australia Pacific has provided students participating in ANSTO’s National Graduate Innovation Forum with a practical challenge relating to technology that is exposed to damaging radiation in space.

Researchers from the University of New South Wales have developed a new type of rechargeable battery that uses protons as charge carriers, offering a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries.

ANSTO radiocarbon facilities and scientists are featured in a new IMAX documentary film released in the United States.

ANSTO contributes to major study on global warming by measuring methane and carbon monoxide trapped in ice.

The Australian Synchrotron has played a crucial role in the discovery of a new cancer drug for the treatment of leukaemia.

Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.

An international research team has discovered how a bacterial toxin, known as Ssp, is capable of entering and killing a wide range of living cells, including human cells using the Australian Synchrotron.

Macromolecular crystallography helps determine the atomic structure.

An ANSTO radiochemist has been awarded a scholarship to carry out research at the world-renowned Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
