ANSTO provides access to specialised facilities and capabilities by application. Please ensure that you contact the relevant ANSTO scientist for advice before submitting a proposal.

Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

Highlights of the Magnetism Project.

A panel discussion was held at Lucas Heights that explored the legacy and future of OPAL, Australia’s world‑class research reactor, and its role in shaping national and global scientific capability.

Radiocarbon dating is a well-known method for determining the age of materials up to the age of approximately 50,000 years.

Ready to start a hands-on career? ANSTO’s Apprenticeship Program gives you the chance to earn while you learn, build real trade skills and contribute to work that supports Australia’s leading nuclear science and technology organisation.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

The Radon Analytical Laboratory operates a comprehensive suite of instrumentation for the monitoring and analysis of natural radioactivity resulting from radon, thoron and their progeny.

ANSTO is delighted to announce the winners of the 2026 Think Science! competition.

ANSTO's Sydney locations are home to the Open Pool Australian Light-water (OPAL) multi-purpose reactor, the Centre for Accelerator Science (CAS), the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering, the National Research Cyclotron and the National Deuteration Facility.

ANSTO has agreed to participate in an Australian trial of a review of research infrastructure access proposals in which applicants remain anonymous to aid the removal of structural barriers to the career progression of Women in STEM.

Australian-first detector to accelerate cancer research unveiled.

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’.

Multi-million dollar Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) Detector launched at the Australian Synchrotron,

Access to a ‘window into the cell’ with University of Wollongong cryogenic electron microscope at ANSTO.

The International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP) is administered by the Australian Synchrotron and is designed to assist Australian-based synchrotron users to access overseas synchrotron related facilities.

The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines provides access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.

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.
