Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials
The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.
Radiocarbon is a powerful tracer for ocean circulation and climate studies
Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).
Celebrating our shining stars of science at the ANSTO Awards
Scientists untangle the challenging complexities of radiocarbon in ice cores
Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.
Evaluating the impact of nanomaterials on health and the environment
ANSTO has put together a robust multidisciplinary approach to understanding the impacts of nanomaterials, investigating a common food additive, E171 titanium dioxide, used primarily as a colouring agent in everyday foods.
