Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering
The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is a major research facility for neutron science that comprises a suite of neutron instruments with a range of techniques for scientific investigations in physics, chemistry, materials science, medicine and environmental science among other fields.
Dating Aboriginal rock art using mud wasp nests
Radiocarbon dating of mud wasp nests was used as an indirect method of dating the Gwion Gwion style.
Rare Aboriginal cultural objects delivered to ANSTO for measurements
Recently, a small delegation, including Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka representatives from the remote outback settlement of Innamincka SA, travelled to ANSTO to deliver rare wooden Aboriginal archaeological artefacts for measurements to determine their age and origin.
Research explains how some plants evolved to depend on fire for survival
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.

ITRAX scanning on cores from Macquarie Island
Research reveals that strong westerly winds weaken the Southern Ocean’s ability to store carbon and thereby contribute to faster accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Researchers uncover how pathogens hijack phosphate pathways to infect crops
A team of scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) has discovered how a powerful “weapon” used by many fungal pathogens enables them to cause disease in major food crops such as rice and corn
