Commercialisation

A one-stop shop to facilitate and promote applications of ANSTO's technology, research and industry.

Environmental research

ANSTO can identify airborne pollutants, determine their origins, track their movement across regions and continents.

Food Science

Small-angle neutron scattering is a versatile technique for investigating food components such as protiens, polymers and emulsions.

Medical research

An area of active investigation at ANSTO is a new class of radiotracers based on iodine-123 and flourine-18 that can be used to image neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.

Minerals

ANSTO minerals scientific and technical staff are specialists in uranium ore processing but their expertise also extends into other mineral sectors.

Neutron Scattering

Neutrons are particularly useful for studying atomic and molecular structures ranging in size from one nanometre(one millionth of a millimetre.)

Nuclear-based analysis

The OPAL neutron-beam facility will enhance the power and versatility of Australia's neutron scattering capability.
