Analysing the microstructure of paracetamol using synchrotron infrared optical technique provides insights.

His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley visited ANSTO’s Innovation Centre nandin and several facilities including the OPAL multipurpose reactor this week for a tour after learning of the ANSTO-nandin win in the NASA SpaceApps COVID 19 Challenge.

New oxygen ion conducting material for use in solid oxide fuel cells and other devices

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.

International research led by Curtin University and supported by ANSTO, has identified and studied the first sauropod dinosaur gut contents found anywhere in the world. The stomach content was preserved with a reasonably complete skeleton of the Australian Cretaceous species Diamantinasaurus matildae found in Winton Queensland.

Beamtime Guide on the X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

Researchers from UNSW have found an extraordinary material that does expand or contract over an extremely wide temperature range and may be one of the most stable materials known.

The Australian Government recently signed a landmark emissions reduction technology deal with Great Britain, which includes nuclear energy and clean hydrogen among the six key low emission technologies the two countries hope to advance.

ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.

A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.

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.

Understanding of the role that programmed cell death has in development.

Research will change understanding of Australian Aboriginal rock art found in rock shelters of the Kimberley and its relationship to a changing landscape

The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline
