Proposed new ANSTO waste facility
The independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, is currently accepting submissions about ANSTO’s planned $59.8 million Intermediate Level Solid Waste Storage Facility.
Aboriginal ochre art under high-tech ‘hands-off’ focus to map culture trail
Frederic Sierro joins team
New researcher joins human health team to focus on role of acquired immunity in preventing disease
Collaborative research brings new insights into radioactive waste, nuclear fuel and nuclear waste forms
ANSTO researchers have demonstrated longstanding expertise in the study of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste with two recent journal articles in a special issue of Frontiers of Chemistry.
The power of one thousand as Australian research reaches molecular milestone
Dharawal mural and sign unveiled
Dharawal Mural tells an ancient story. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that webpage contains images of people who have died.
New species of rare 100-million years old flying reptile found in Australia
An international team of academic researchers led by Curtin University have provided a description of a new species of pterosaur, a flying reptile.
Stopping yellow spot fungus that attacks wheat crops
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.
Role at ANSTO
Synchrotron commercial services
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.
Radiation Monitoring
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.
Pioneering collaboration advances nuclear medicine
This joint initiative at ANSTO has developed a new capability: solid surface radiolabelling to evaluate Auger emitting sources for next-generation targeted therapy.
Role at ANSTO
Using cosmic ray 'clocks in rocks' to understand climate change
Pyrochlore transformation of defect fluorite?
Mathematical insights explain inconsistencies in experimental data: pyrochlore transformation into defect fluorite or not?
Extracting methane from ice to understand past climate
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.
Synchrotron techniques powerful tool to reveal inner workings of volcanoes
An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.
Earthquake clues unearthed in strange, precariously balanced rocks
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.
