Role at ANSTO
Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts
In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth. However, it is the secondary particles of lower energies created when galactic and cosmic radiation interacts with shielding that is of concern for astronauts.
Powerful new microscope a game changer in battle against disease
The Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope reveals the inner workings of life at the cellular level.
Dynamic real-time video captures how surfaces are modified by nuclear techniques
New experts join Australia's nuclear agency: Focus on innovation, users delivering more benefits to Australians
Collaboration to jolt energy research forward
ANSTO scientist awarded Nancy Millis Medal for Women in Science by the Australian Academy of Science
One of ANSTO’s most accomplished scientists and internationally recognised energy researchers, Prof Vanessa Peterson, has been awarded the Nancy Millis Medal for Woman in Science by the Australian Academy of Science this week.
Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts
In collaboration with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the French International Space Agency (CNES), ANSTO scientists are undertaking research on the radiobiological effects of secondary particles that are created when radiation interacts with the shielding on the International Space Station.
ANSTO Innovation Precinct briefing for NSW Parliament
ANSTO shared plans for an Innovation Precinct in southern Sydney at a breakfast event.
Progress in PNG
PNG Fisheries expresses great satisfaction with the progress of aquaculture initiative.

Research indicates that the portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an appropriate analytical technique for determining seafood provenance at external sites.
ANSTO awarded an Athena Bronze Institution Award
ANSTO has been awarded an Athena Bronze Institution Award, acknowledging our dedication to improving workplace equality, diversity and inclusion.
What is nuclear science?
Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed.
Project BRIGHT
The BRIGHT Project will expand the beamline infrastructure of the Australian Synchrotron to increase both its capacity and capabilities.
Radioisotopes
Using the OPAL multipurpose reactor,, ANSTO can provide a diverse suite of radioisotopes for research and applications
Our understanding of the atom powers ANSTO's nuclear and accelerator research techniques
Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.
Historic MOU links ANSTO and The National Measurement Institute
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.
