High energy irradiation used to investigate advanced material for power electronics
A research team from ETH Zurich developing and characterizing silicon carbide devices for power electronics, recently spent time at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science to use a specialised beamline in their investigations.
Understanding depression
Potential new treatments and tools for depression under development.
Part 1: When solar radiation grounds our planes....
Radiation testing of electronic components at ANTO could benefit the aviation industry, regulators and most importantly, passengers as solar radiation events increase.
Role at ANSTO
Space research enabled with new capability
New high energy ion microprobe beamline supports space research on the effects of radiation on astronauts.
A closer look at the science of detecting flu
Bully T cells key to next generation flu vaccine
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.
Ultra-sensitive accelerator technique traces the rise and fall of a giant Himalayan glacier
ANSTO has supported a new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews that dates the dramatic collapse of one of the largest glaciers ever documented in the Himalayas. The findings overturn a long-held assumption about what sustains wet-climate glaciers.
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.”
ANSTO joins European network for radiation testing of electronics
ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science has been selected as a partner facility in RADNEXT 2030, a major European initiative that provides researchers and industry with access to radiation testing infrastructure for electronics.
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.
