Exploring secondary electron behaviour for next-generation quantum and fabrication technologies – Rose Wilkens

As the demand for faster, smaller, and more powerful technology grows, the microelectronics industry is reaching the physical limits of current manufacturing methods. Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, the current state-of-the-art technique for fabricating microchips, is being pushed to its limits, as engineers work to create features measured in nanometres and even atomic scales. Exploring new […]

How an ancient marine species could unlock clues to human health – Jennifer Tinker

AINSE Pathway scholar Jennifer Tinker is uncovering the secrets of Trichoplax adhaerens—an ancient, radiation-resistant marine organism—and what its resilience could mean for future advancements in human health, space exploration, and cancer biology. Jennifer’s Honours research, conducted in collaboration with La Trobe University and ANSTO, investigates how Trichoplax adhaerens—one of the simplest known forms of multicellular

Cosmic clocks in Antarctic rocks: Forecasting future sea-levels by understanding the response of Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica, to climate change.

By Georgia Barrington-Smith & Dr Rebecca Duncan The Antarctic ice sheet holds 61% of all the fresh water on Earth. How this ice sheet is responding to climate warming remains the biggest source of uncertainty in determining future global sea levels. Interpreting clues from the past ice margins is critical to understanding the future, and
