Agreement extends Taiwan’s National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center’s operation of neutron scattering instrument at ANSTO

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.

With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.

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.

Three new federal grants were announced to support manufacturing and nuclear technologies.

Phenomenon predicted by Nobel Prize recipient

The Hungarian Ambassador to Australia and a small delegation visited ANSTO for a special ceremony to mark the installation and commissioning of two new nuclear medicine scanners from the Hungarian company Mediso Pacific.

Dr Catalina Curceanu will explore exotic atoms and impossible phenomena in the universe.

New technology is being developed in Sydney to recycle used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and turn it into raw materials for 3D printing.

Environmental scientist with a passion for fieldwork and a lifelong commitment to scientific excellence

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

ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.

The Australian Government recently signed a landmark emissions reduction technology deal with Great Britain, which includes nuclear energy and clean hydrogen among the six key low emission technologies the two countries hope to advance.
