Pioneering research has confirmed that the current level of rainfall recharging groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years
In a world-first study, Australian environmental scientists have used cave stalagmites as a record of groundwater replenishment over time, that showed the current level of rainfall recharging groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years.
Restarting a nuclear reactor series: It’s all in the preparation and slow and careful actions
ANSTO recently re-started the OPAL Reactor after a six-month shutdown for essential maintenance and the installation of an upgraded facility.
Ceramisphere had its origins at ANSTO
Early research at ANSTO has contributed to development of innovative submicron particle encapsulation technology.
What is radiation?
Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.
Year 9-10 Radioactivity and its Applications
Students investigate the production of nuclear medicines in the OPAL multipurpose reactor, the use of nuclear medicines to diagnose and treat disease, and the science behind working safely with radiation.
This program is designed to address content and skill outcomes in the Year 9 and Year 10 Science Australian Curriculum and NSW syllabuses.
Cost: $90 per class.
ISO nuclear safety certification is a first in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere
How safe is OPAL?
The OPAL research reactor's design and integrated safety features mean it is extremely safe; a fact confirmed by independent analysis.
Two Aussie start-ups team up with ANSTO
The nandin Deep Technology Incubator at ANSTO’s Lucas Heights innovation precinct has welcomed two new members.
Science is in while school is out this Easter
What is synchrotron light?
Synchrotron light is the electromagnetic radiation emitted when electrons, moving at velocities close to the speed of light, are forced to change direction under the action of a magnetic field.
What is nuclear science?
Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed.
Australia completes first phase of its waste repatriation project
Historic greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core sampling
ANSTO Physicist Andrew Smith collaborates with international scientists to study historical greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core samples. This data set contains temperature records and concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane from the last 800,000 years.
ANSTO strengthens its collaboration with IAEA to support environmental protection
Stronger research link with IAEA with the establishment of Collaborating Centre at ANSTO to support environment and cultural heritage activities
Apps
ANSTO has a variety of games and apps to educate students on how radiation works, nuclear medicine, the periodic table, and atom building.
Hot Isostatic Pressing
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.
