ANSTO’s food provenance research gathers momentum with progress on the development of handheld technology for off-site assessments of origin tiger prawns and an expansion of the work to other seafood species.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

ABC has reported space research on plants being sent to the moon at the Centre for Accelerator Science.

The Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) is a flagship beamline of the Australian Synchrotron built with considerable support from the NHMRC. It is one of only a few of its type, and delivers the world’s widest synchrotron x-ray ‘beam’.

Radioisotope tracing technique are used to understand the uptake of contaminants, and nutrients, bioaccumulation, by aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants.

Scandium 47, a therapeutic radioisotope and potential theranostic, has been produced for the first time at ANSTO. Theranostics are used to both diagnose and treat disease.
