Lake sediments as environmental archives used in compilation of data.

Professor of Soil Science at The University of Queensland, Peter Kopittke and partner investigator Prof Enzo Lombi of the University of SA are very optimistic about the use of a new synchrotron-based imaging technique that captures in 3D the complex interaction of soil and root.

Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

The complex engineering of scientific instruments is explored in this 'behind the scenes' look at the installation of frontends for two new beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron.

The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.

Using the past to illuminate the future: Brothers collaborate on important science documentary for ABC TV

The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

Advanced imaging reveals unusual, unseen patterns in seabird feathers.

The ARC Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Green Electrochemical Transformation of Carbon Dioxide, GETCO2, will support innovative approaches to carbon capture.

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.
