ANSTO plays a leading role in measuring and characterising fine particles from a range of locations around Australia and internationally.

Ultra-flexible electronics has many potential applications within areas such as for example the military, healthcare and energy.

The health impacts of exposure to poor levels of air quality resulting from bushfires and drought recommended that NSW Government work with ANSTO to expand the sampling of particulate matter in the air state-wide.

Today is World Environment Day, a United Nations initiative for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment. This year’s theme is “Beat Air Pollution”, a call to action to combat this global crisis.

Below lists some useful programs for data reduction, search matching, analysis and structure visualisation of diffraction data.

There has been an increasing pressure on construction industrial sector to utilise innovative materials that not only meet the requirements of ambitious architectural designs, but also reduce CO2 emissions.

The Centre for Acclerator Science operates accelerators that can be used for space radiation testing.

The National Deuteration Facility is providing deuterated cholesterol, an essential ingredient in lipid nanoparticles for the delivery of vaccines using mRNA, to academic and industry partners.

Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

Research on the mechanism of cell death has insights to bring progress on neurodegenerative diseases and plant biosecurity.

ANSTO Big Ideas encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.
