RemLife software helps power stations improve efficiency of operations
Innovative software tool developed at ANSTO used at power stations to help maintain plant components and improve the efficiency of operations.
Health
ANSTO is a major supplier of Australia’s radioactive isotopes used in nuclear medicine, delivering around 10,000 patient doses each week. Health-based research and development in Australia and overseas also benefit greatly from ANSTO’s unique capabilities and expertise in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease using nuclear and accelerator infrastructure.
Science talk: photonics to shine a new light on cancer treatment
First light achieved for new micro-computed tomography beamline under Project BRIGHT
Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.
RemLife: the Aussie software behind power station maintenance
Aussie development offering significant benefits to the energy industry.
Materials in extreme environments
Materials researchers focus on development, performance and in-service degradation of nickel-based superalloys, reinforced carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC).
Materials in extreme environments
Material researchers at ANSTO use a range of in-house capabilities in the development, testing and characterisation of existing and emerging materials for extreme environments of the novel nuclear (fission/fusion) based energy-generation systems.
Cancer patients to benefit from new supply chain
Role at ANSTO
X-ray absorption spectroscopy
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.
First synchrotron light is a milestone for new instruments at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron
NSTO’S major project to introduce eight new beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone with the delivery of ‘first light’ to the new MEX-1 beamline.
Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)
The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.
Progress on BRIGHT Project beamlines
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.
Big Ideas Forum
Creative ideas are the spark for great innovations: this week students from across Australia got to share their ideas through ANSTO’s Big Ideas Forum.
