ANSTO is proud to host the Shorebirds Competition for the fifth year. This unique environmental poster competition is free to enter and offers over $4500 in prizes for students and schools!

ANSTO's Chief Nuclear Officer shares insights on the safe management of Australia's nuclear waste.

Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.

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.

Using neutron imaging techniques at ANSTO, researchers from Macquarie University have gained a better understanding of how corrosion forms and spreads through concrete that is commonly used in sewer pipes.

Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).

Come and discover the world of nuclear science at ANSTO - book a school tour in Sydney today.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

Proposals at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering and National Deuteration Facility.

3D models of multilayered structures on engineering scale from nanoscale damage profiles.

The new Micro Computed Tomography (MCT) beamline is the first instrument to become operational as part of the $94 million Project BRIGHT program, which will see the completion of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron.

Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.

Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

A collaboration of Australian scientists has used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron to measure the amount of carbon that is captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone, which acts as a carbon sink.

The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.
