ANSTO proudly contributes to measures that recognise all aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage during NAIDOC Week and all year.

Using the Australian Synchrotron, an international team of researchers has characterised an important interaction that helps the SARS-CoV-2 virus invade human cells.

Scientists at ANSTO together with Lithium Australia Limited (LIT) have developed a world-first technology to extract more lithium from lithium mining waste, in a game-changer for Australian lithium industry. 

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has joined a team, lead by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to install a high resolution monitoring system at ANSTO’s medical isotope production facility in Lucas Heights, Australia.

Two of Australia’s leading science organisations, ANSTO and the National Measurement Institute (NMI), which share areas of common interest in both measurement and research, signed a MOU formalising collaboration on 6 March 2019.

A team of researchers from ANSTO and University of Technology Sydney have set a record by conducting thin film experiments at 1100 degrees C.

ANSTO contributes to new international project to improve how the world assesses the economic viability of Small Modular Reactors

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 Synroc technology provides a safe, secure matrix for the immobilisation and final disposal of radioactive waste.

With more than thirty years of expertise and experience in critical minerals and rare earths extraction and processing, ANSTO welcomes the Australian Government’s announcement of a 2022 Critical Minerals Strategy

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

ANSTO offers accelerator-based particle-induced gamma-ray emission techniques to determine total fluorine concentration in a range of solid materials and rapidly screen for the presence of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

The Think Science! event encourages students to engage with the Science Inquiry Skills process as outlined in the Australian National Curriculum.

Australia part of global renaissance in fusion power research symbolised by ITER experiment

ANSTO-nandin hackathon teams have combined skills using science and business innovation in three successive events.
