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.

ANSTO environmental scientists have alerted the scientific community of the critical need to monitor changes to ice containing potential nuclear fallout that reached Antarctica from 20th century atmospheric weapons testing.

The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide 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.

Guide to successful proposals and experiments at the Powder Diffraction beamline.

ANSTO has contributed to research that  indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies,  allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last  ca. 65,000 years.

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

ANSTO recognised the contribution of individuals and teams to nuclear science and technology at the 2023 ANSTO Awards Ceremony held on 25 July.

Creative ideas are the spark for great innovations: this week students from across Australia got to share their ideas through ANSTO’s Big Ideas Forum.

Primary students across Australia were invited to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia for our 2020 Shorebirds Competition. In response to COVID-19, and the changes to children’s learning environments, we opened the competition early and also included categories for individual children to enter, as well as school children.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

ANSTO User Meeting 2021 - Speakers

A group from Monash university has sought to make a new innovative nano-porous sieve material which has the potential to be produced on a global scale and is effective for a much longer time.

A delegation of Taiwanese officials and ANSTO staff celebrated the 10th anniversary of the operation of an advanced scientific instrument, a cold neutron triple axis spectrometer Sika on 4 September.

The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.
