Using nuclear techniques to track micronutrients applied to wheat crops
Researchers from Murdoch University and associated collaborators are using ANSTO’s unique nuclear capabilities to gain detailed information about how wheat crops take in administered micronutrients to maximise their efficient use.
ANSTO’s augmented reality app transforms Australia’s science classrooms
ANSTO is helping change the way science is taught in the classroom - converting that dusty old periodic table into an augmented reality app that brings the elements to life.
ANSTO supports investigations into new area of COVID research
ANSTO’s National Deuteration Facility has been providing high-quality deuterated lipids used in the construction of cell membrane models to support research that improves our understanding of how the virus interacts with elements of the cell membrane, a relatively new area of investigation.

Year 7-8 In Their Elements Online Learning
Bring the periodic table to life in this interactive videoconference lesson.
Students see real samples of common elements, learn about their history, properties and uses, and find out how the periodic table was developed during the 19th century.
Students review atomic structure, elements and the organisation of today's periodic table, before applying their knowledge and skills in a fun periodic table game.
Cost: $90 per class.
Investigating radiation in the air we breathe
Radon is a significant component of background radiation and can accumulate in poorly ventilated indoor environments.
In this data set, we investigated the effect of electrostatically charging a balloon, which was then hung in an enclosed space, on its level of radioactivity.
Students write a hypothesis, graph data, write a conclusion and use provided information to answer questions about radioactivity and radon, experimental design, accuracy, validity and reliability.
Personalised cancer therapy
Research collaboration with University of Sydney focuses on a personalised approach to cancer treatment.
