A dedicated team of radiation specialists from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) are behind the successful detection and rapid retrieval of a missing radioactive source in outback Western Australia.

We are using nuclear and other methods to improve the traceability of food to ensure safety and security for consumers and industry, optimise the various functions of food and its production and understand the fundamental mechanisms that link some food to an immune response

Offered to girls in Years 5, 6 and 7, the STEAM Club encourages creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through the Arts (the A in STEAM).

With the support of the Sir William Tyree Foundation, ANSTO is offering two career development opportunities for young Indigenous Australians in the area of work, health and safety.

Snapshots of an unprecedented double element-hydrogen bond activation at a transition metal centre.

Structure of protein involved in immune response pair revealed.

ANSTO’s commitment to Diversity and Inclusion extends to all events we host or conferences we support through sponsorship, expertise (presenting/speaking) or staff attendance as delegates.

Government response to 2016 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap

COVID-19 can’t stop kids with a passion for science and technology, with ANSTO launching our new online STEAM Club just in time for the school holidays.

Nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) is a promising material for future biological and electrochemical applications.

When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.

Zachary Di Pietro, a PhD candidate at the University of Newcastle and AINSE Postgraduate Research Award recipient, has received the 2025 Ezio Rizzardo Polymer Scholarship from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering for his innovative work on synthesising and characterising polymer brushes for ultra-low friction surface applications.

Researchers from the University of Wollongong have improved a high voltage cathode material to deliver structural stability and an unprecedented electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in work that is extendable to other types of energy storage materials.

Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.

Modelling and experimentation - a powerful combination in probing mechanical properties of ion irradiated materials through nanoindentation.
