ANSTO continually monitors environmental gamma radiation from a station located in Engadine NSW. ANSTO uses environmental radiation data to evaluate atmospheric dispersion from its site. This radiation is almost completely natural background radiation.

Collaborators used X-ray imaging to understand the fine detail of how a damaging fungal pathogen reduces leaf function and grain yield of wheat crops.

An international team of academic researchers led by Curtin University have provided a description of a new species of pterosaur, a flying reptile.

The Australian Synchrotron is a source of powerful X-rays and infrared radiation that can be used for a wide range of scientific and technical purposes. Synchrotron X-rays are millions of times brighter than those produced by conventional X-ray machines in laboratories and hospitals.

Principal Research Scientist Andrew Smith is travelling to the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica with American collaborators on a 3-year National Science Foundation project now in its final year that involves mining tonnes of ice for palaeoclimate research.

This joint initiative at ANSTO has developed a new capability: solid surface radiolabelling to evaluate Auger emitting sources for next-generation targeted therapy.

ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.

Mathematical insights explain inconsistencies in experimental data: pyrochlore transformation into defect fluorite or not?

The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.

Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.
