Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

Biodeuteration involves the growth of microorganisms in a heavy water (deuterium oxide) culture medium supplemented with either a deuterated or hydrogenated carbon substrate, depending on the level of deuteration required. The biomass is harvested and the deuterated molecule (e.g. protein) is purified and characterised.

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

ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science measures extra-terrestrial plutonium in a study to clarify the origin of the heavier elements

A new imaging technology developed at ANSTO makes it possible to image, identify and locate gamma-ray radiation in a safe and timely manner.

Sample environment types that are available on the Powder Diffraction beamline.

International collaboration uses Australian Synchrotron on pioneering malaria research.

The X-ray fluorescence microspectroscopy beamline offers a range of x-ray absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques at submicron length-scales. The beamline has two microscopes optimised for complementary studies.

Bushfires heat soil to extreme temperatures and this causes oxidation of chromium to a highly toxic and carcinogenic form.

Development of new techniques makes it possible to date Australian Aboriginal rock art.
