Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.

Dr Ceri Brenner appointed new leader of the Centre for Accelerator Science 

Dr Jessica Hamilton, a beamline scientist at the Australian Synchrotron, has won the Falling Walls Lab competition hosted by the Australian Academy of Science for her 3 minute presentation on a novel approach to using mining waste for carbon dioxide capture and a source of carbonate minerals. The event is held to deliver solutions to some of the most promising challenges of our time.

The Australian Government’s nuclear agency, ANSTO, together with NSW Police and multiple state and federal authorities, has completed an operation to repatriate radioactive waste from the UK.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

The Hungarian Ambassador to Australia and a small delegation visited ANSTO for a special ceremony to mark the installation and commissioning of two new nuclear medicine scanners from the Hungarian company Mediso Pacific.

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

Australia and Sri Lanka develop action plan to fight Chronic Kidney Disease killer

University of Melbourne researchers have investigated a method to produce magnetic nanoparticles in Australia for use in COVID-19 PCR tests.

Sample environments, Data analysis and reduction on the Koala instrument.

Researchers from UNSW have found an extraordinary material that does expand or contract over an extremely wide temperature range and may be one of the most stable materials known.

A lift for fish at Tallowa Dam: Study on dietary impacts.

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering and National Deuteration Facility have announced the first recipients of the Neutron and Deuteration Impact Awards.
