Soft X-ray experiments used to characterise new thin film topological Dirac Semimetal.

A selection of research highlights, instrument news and technical developments for scientists.

The health impacts of exposure to poor levels of air quality resulting from bushfires and drought recommended that NSW Government work with ANSTO to expand the sampling of particulate matter in the air state-wide.

The protein mapping workhorses of the Australian Synchrotron, Macromolecular and Microfocus crystallography beamlines, MX1 and 2, continue to support important biomedical research in the development of vaccines and new therapeutics.

The 3D structure of a fungal and plant enzyme solves 50-year-old mystery.

The IAEA is providing $1.3m over four years to implement a new, Australian-led patient-care project for the Asia and Pacific region

Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers. 

2022 has been a big year for ANSTO with contributions to the advanced manufacturing, space, food, energy industries, and more. As we set our sights on 2023, we thought we’d take the opportunity to share some of our key innovation achievements from this year.

Australia launched a new international development project in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to advance ‘Rays of Hope’ in the Asia and Pacific region. 

ANSTO has recently concluded up a successful cross-cultural nuclear science education project between Australia and Japan.

A large group of ANSTO environmental scientists and collaborators have produced the first groundwater stable isotopes, ‘isoscapes’, intuitive maps with grid data, across NSW combining new and pre-existing isotope measurements.

With world-class experts in groundwater and major contributions in this area over two decades, ANSTO completed a major project report on Improving groundwater sustainability and renewability using isotope hydrochemistry in NSW for the Department of Planning and Environment (NSW) and National Water Grid earlier in the year.

The National Deuteration Facility offers the facilities and expertise to produce molecules where all or part of the molecular hydrogen is replaced with deuterium. This enables complex investigations of the relationship between the structure of molecules and their function using neutron scattering and other techniques.
