The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

More than 3,200 solar panels have been installed across the rooftops of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) Australian Synchrotron in Clayton, offsetting enough power to light up the whole MCG for more than five years.

An international collaboration led by The University of Sydney and supported by ANSTO has developed an advanced, innovative artificial intelligence application that could be used to help examine tissue samples and identify signs of disease/

Whilst at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron today, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced new funding for the Australian Precision Medicine Enterprise (APME) Project. The Australian Government will contribute $23m in grant funding under the Manufacturing Collaboration Stream of the Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) towards the $71.2m project.

The release of the Oppenheimer film, the story of the director of the Manhattan Project,  has prompted many people to go online and search for an explanation of the difference between fission and fusion, two fundamental scientific concepts.

Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Barrier Reef and uses his powers to protect the environment. With JackVac, he cleans up rubbish and impurities in seawater. With JackCopter, he soars high into the air, where you wouldn't normally see a prawn. Of course, powers like that help Jack find and clear up waste plastic. But Jack's main job is to educate young readers.

The BRIGHT Project will expand the beamline infrastructure of the Australian Synchrotron to increase both its capacity and capabilities.

The Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) is a flagship beamline of the Australian Synchrotron built with considerable support from the NHMRC. It is one of only a few of its type, and delivers the world’s widest synchrotron x-ray ‘beam’.

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

A tiny 8mm by 6mm radioactive capsule went missing in January 2023, somewhere along a 1400 kilometre journey from Rio Tinto’s Gudai-Darri iron ore mine to its final destination in Perth, Western Australia. Find out how ANSTO's CORIS360® technology identified the exact location of the missing source.
