ANSTO Instruments
ANSTO's facilities in Sydney include access to neutron beam instruments, X-ray and infrared instruments, biological and chemical deuteration, accelerators, and an array of other capabilities and techniques.
The Australian Synchrotron
A world-class national research facility that uses accelerator technology to produce a powerful source of light-X rays and infrared radiation a million times brighter than the sun.
Experts to discuss latest developments in state-of-the-art radiation treatments for cancer which use accelerated particles
High-energy heavy ion microprobe
The high-energy heavy-ion microprobe is used for the characterisation or modification of material properties at depths from approximately 1 micrometre to maximum depths of up to 500 micrometres from the material surface.
Operations
Accelerator Operators operate the synchrotron and its subsystems 24 hours a day, six days a week, and maintain very high beam availability for facility users.

ANSTO and University of Wollongong collaborate on new quality control device to enhance precision in advanced cancer treatment
Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers.
Sea level rise predicted to dramatically speed up erosion of rock coastlines by 2100
New research published a team from the Imperial College London, University of Glasgow and ANSTO suggests that rock coasts, which make up over half the world’s coastlines, could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise.
Cutting-edge nuclear techniques help prove Australia's oldest Aboriginal site
An unassuming rock shelter in the Flinders Ranges has been revealed as the oldest known evidence of Aboriginal Australian settlement, thanks in part to advanced nuclear techniques, technology and scientists.
