Nuclear tech helps power Perseverance Rover on Mars

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.

Exchange of expertise

A specialist in particle therapy treatment planning from the Mayo Clinic in the US, Professor Chris Beltran, recently visited ANSTO for an exchange for information.

Historic greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core sampling

ANSTO Physicist Andrew Smith collaborates with international scientists to study historical greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core samples. This data set contains temperature records and concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane from the last 800,000 years. 

Students will:

  • read suggested articles relating to the increase in concentration of greenhouse gases 
  • construct graphs using the data provided
  • use the knowledge and understanding acquired from reading the suggested articles and their constructed graphs to answer questions provided
