This science week ANSTO is releasing a new way for students across Australia to learn about the periodic table of elements with augmented reality (AR). ANSTO's Free AR experience unlocks the periodic table to reveal a world of protons, neutrons and electrons and illustrates how useful they are to science and industry in the 21st century.
ANSTO undertakes research on Australia's water resources to inform more sustainable water management practices.
New class of single atoms catalysts for carbon nanotubes characterised.
The first pilot project at the Australian Synchrotron takes place following a Memorandum of Understanding between nandin and Swinburne University of Technology and Design Factory Melbourne (DFM).
Today is World Environment Day, a United Nations initiative for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment. This year’s theme is “Beat Air Pollution”, a call to action to combat this global crisis.
On 20 July 1969, humans landed on the moon for the very first time. As Neil Armstrong was lowered onto the surface of the moon he made the now infamous statement, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.
This resource guides students through how to interpret and analyse authentic research data, generated during a collaborative project between UNSW, UTS, ANSTO and Taronga Zoo Sydney. The project examines the use of high-resolution x-ray fluorescence as a tool to combat the international illegal wildlife trade (IWT) of short beaked echidnas, which are being removed from the wild and claimed as captive-bred.
Students will:
- examine the adaptations of short beaked echidnas that increase their ability to survive in their environment
- explore the use of technology in contributing to the study and conservation of biodiversity
- construct simple graphs of the provided data using MS Excel, and interpret and analyse these graphs
- investigate how scientific knowledge interacts with social, economic, cultural and ethical issues.
Participate in live radiation demonstrations, cover syllabus content and visit ANSTO virtually during our online depth study classes for Year 11 Chemistry.
- Investigate properties of different radioisotopes and learn about their uses in medicine, industry and environmental research.
- Consider the scientific method and gather data during a live radiation experiment.
- See some of Australia's largest scientific infrastructure, including the OPAL multipurpose reactor.
Cost: $90 per class.
This tour provides an in depth look into the world of nuclear science and the work ANSTO does in the areas of health, the environment and delivering solutions for industry.
Tours are designed for adults and children 8 years and over, and can be booked for groups from Monday to Friday, subject to availability. Groups must be at least 12 people. These are general tours for community groups - if you are a school group, please see our range of syllabus-linked school tours.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Cost: $15 per person
More than 3,200 solar panels have been installed across the rooftops of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) Australian Synchrotron in Clayton, offsetting enough power to light up the whole MCG for more than five years.
ANSTO provides multiple sources for radiation testing of materials and devices including Co-60 gamma sources, x-ray, proton and heavier ion-beams.
Health researchers meet with total-body PET Explorer Consortium team.in US.
Synchrotron light is the electromagnetic radiation emitted when electrons, moving at velocities close to the speed of light, are forced to change direction under the action of a magnetic field.
