Australia’s nuclear agency ANSTO is continuing to lead planning efforts to repatriate what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive from the United Kingdom in 2022.

Powder diffraction and X-ray fluorescence microscopy support investigation of pigments in rock art.

Publications and resources from the Powder Diffraction beamline.

Five exceptional female science communicators are part of a larger team who use skills in education and engagement to promote an interest in science amongst the public and students.

Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.

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 Platypus instrument can be used to study all-manner of surface-science and interface problems, particularly related to magnetic recording materials and for polymer coatings, biosensors and artificial biological membranes.

Australian and international researchers have used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron to confirm the presence of an unusual diamond found in stony meteorites.

Groundwater experts from ANSTO and UNSW have led a collaboration of Australian and American researchers to analyse the composition of deep, very old groundwater and develop a new conceptual framework that describes the degradation of carbon over time in the subsurface.

ANSTO has contributed to international research on quasicrystals that opens the door to tailored magnetic materials.
