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

ANSTO User Meeting 2021 - Speakers

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) are pleased to present this year's invited speakers.

The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

Efficient electro-catalysis of hydrogen from seawater represents a low-cost, abundant source of clean energy.

Winners of the Big Ideas Competition 2021

Our research group carries out fundamental research uniquely applied to industrial problems in the areas of uranium, rare earth and lithium processing.

ANSTO plays a leading role in measuring and characterising fine particles from a range of locations around Australia and internationally.

ANSTO is dedicated to identifying opportunities for the application of knowledge and technology developed by the organisation for a wide range of industry applications.

The physics and chemistry used at ANSTO is built upon, in significant part, by pioneering female scientists who were sidelined, expelled, or simply not credited appropriately for their achievements.

There has been an increasing pressure on construction industrial sector to utilise innovative materials that not only meet the requirements of ambitious architectural designs, but also reduce CO2 emissions.

You may be confident about the major crystallographic phases of your ore body – but what about those minor phases that can affect processing or cause long-term problems with remediation?

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

The growth and incorporation of graphene into semiconductor device architectures has been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to grow it on suitable substrates.

Unique landmark instrumentation and expertise are a hallmark of ANSTO’s sovereign capability, unavailable anywhere else in Australia.  Our ability to identify the source of hazardous particulates in air, the age of water in aquifers and the detailed chemistry of toxic elements in complex soil and biota specimens are just some examples of ANSTO capability.

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.
