Sea level rise predicted to dramatically speed up erosion of rock coastlines by 2100
New research published a team from the Imperial College London, University of Glasgow and ANSTO suggests that rock coasts, which make up over half the world’s coastlines, could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise.
Bully T cells key to next generation flu vaccine
Research reveals how disordered proteins contribute to the properties of the rabies virus
A large team of international researchers have used synchrotron techniques to understand how key proteins contribute to the virulence of the rabies virus, sometimes called the “zombie virus.”
Aiding the global research effort on COVID-19
Melbourne researchers map the structure of a key COVID-19 protein using the Australian Synchrotron
Australia’s nuclear science capabilities have been central to our fight against COVID-19
ANSTO scientists share approach on the global stage at the IAEA General Conference.
International science team paves way for fast and accurate flu diagnosis
Flexible, printable X-ray detectors
Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.
ANSTO supports investigations into new area of COVID research
ANSTO’s National Deuteration Facility has been providing high-quality deuterated lipids used in the construction of cell membrane models to support research that improves our understanding of how the virus interacts with elements of the cell membrane, a relatively new area of investigation.
ANSTO contributes to new research could pave the way for safer and more efficient COVID-19 testing
International research led by Monash University and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity has achieved a proof of concept for a new, fast, portable saliva screening test that uses an infrared light technology to confirm infection with SARS-CoV-2.
Cosmic dust reveals Earth’s ancient atmosphere
Helping in the fight against COVID-19
Experts at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron are prioritising work that could hold the key to fast-tracking the development of a vaccine for COVID-19.
Understanding organic solar cells
The design and implementation of alternative energy sources is one of the greatest scientific and social challenges of our time.
Snaphot of molecular mechanism at work in lethal virus
X-ray crystallography at the Australian Synchrotron contributed to major research findings.
The Australian Synchrotron
A world-class national research facility that uses accelerator technology to produce a powerful source of light-X rays and infrared radiation a million times brighter than the sun.
National Science Week: Success with virtual events
Virtual activities celebrating the benefits of nuclear science and technology held for National Science Week
Reconstructing the history of coastal erosion
Research makes it possible to assess if and how rocky coasts, which make up the majority of the world’s coasts including Australia and New Zealand, will respond to changes in marine conditions.
Nanoindentation + modelling = innovation for industry
Modelling and experimentation - a powerful combination in probing mechanical properties of ion irradiated materials through nanoindentation.
Workbooks
ANSTO provides secondary students with a range of learning resources for those interested in science or studying for exams. For teachers, ANSTO provides learning resources and professional development, as well as in-school-term science tours and videoconferences. Workbooks are provided as required learning material to accompany a school visit to ANSTO. They can also be used on their own as a classroom resource.
