Powerful combination of deuteration and neutron scattering used to characterise structure of molecules on surface of nanoparticles.

ANSTO renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) operated by the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK) and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Now broadened to include their partner Comprehensive Research Organization for Science and Society (CROSS), the signing took place early in the year and a celebratory workshop was held late July.

The National Deuteration facility is assisting with the establishment of a Japanese Chemical Deuteration Facility.

Proposals to Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering and National Deuteration Facility closed

Ultra small angle neutron scattering on Kookaburra is used to study the size and shape of objects of size 10 micrometres and below.

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’s National Deuteration Facility has provided deuterated cholesterol for international research to gain a better understanding of how the Spike protein of the COVID virus, SARS-Co-V-2, infects human cells through a membrane fusion mechanism.
