A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.

The instrument is very well suited for the study of kinetic effects, like relaxation following a chemical reaction, or external impulses like mechanical deformation, an electric or magnetic field.

ANSTO will participate in a New Zealand Marsden project which will search for chemical clues linked to the origins of life on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. 

The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.

Dr Andrew Smith has just finished collecting ice cores and snow samples on the summit of Law Dome in Antarctica,

Stable isotopes are high useful in investigations of environmental samples.
