Earthquake clues unearthed in strange, precariously balanced rocks
Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.
Extracting methane from ice to understand past climate
Principal Research Scientist Andrew Smith is travelling to the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica with American collaborators on a 3-year National Science Foundation project now in its final year that involves mining tonnes of ice for palaeoclimate research.
Australian Synchrotron joins Monash and key institutions in $2.9 million new platform to support drug development
Monash University is partnering with the Australian Synchrotron and other key institutions to launch a $2.9 million national project – delivering a robotic laboratory capable of drastically speeding up the invention, trials and commercialisation of medicines by Australian researchers.

Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials
The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.
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.
Taiwan science organisations and ANSTO celebrating ten years of operation of an advanced instrument
A delegation of Taiwanese officials and ANSTO staff celebrated the 10th anniversary of the operation of an advanced scientific instrument, a cold neutron triple axis spectrometer Sika on 4 September.
ARC Linkage grant will use synchrotron techniques to analyse and evaluate innovative battery technology
Unusual state of matter in new material holds promise for transformative quantum technologies
ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.
Fine-tuning chemistry
Doping with transition metals produced stability in bismuth oxide.

Insights in soil fertility can help guide more targeted fertiliser strategies for long-term soil management across Australia
Study revealed that the chemical forms of sulfur change when land is converted from undisturbed soils to cropping soils and forms of sulfur which bind strongly to the soil mineral particles remains far more stable.
3D cell printing technology earns ANSTO Eureka Prize for Technology
Researchers and industry partners from UNSW Australia, the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine, Children’s Cancer Institute and Inventia Life Sciences Pty Ltd have been awarded the 2021 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology for their method to rapidly-produce 3D cell structures
The risks posed by stormwater runoff can be monitored with thin-film technology
A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.
