Synchrotron reveals an elusive molecular chameleon
Taiwan science organisations and ANSTO celebrating ten years of operation of an advanced instrument
A delegation of Taiwanese officials and ANSTO staff celebrated the 10th anniversary of the operation of an advanced scientific instrument, a cold neutron triple axis spectrometer Sika on 4 September.
Sydney and Perth schools tackle playground waste and clean up with first prize in ANSTO's hackathon
Little forest legacy site
ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.
Sea level rise predicted to dramatically speed up erosion of rock coastlines by 2100
New research published a team from the Imperial College London, University of Glasgow and ANSTO suggests that rock coasts, which make up over half the world’s coastlines, could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise.
ARC Linkage grant will use synchrotron techniques to analyse and evaluate innovative battery technology

Unusual state of matter in new material holds promise for transformative quantum technologies
ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.
Fine-tuning chemistry
Doping with transition metals produced stability in bismuth oxide.
Energy Materials
Creating a global energy system that is both environmentally and economically sustainable is unquestionably one of the largest challenges facing the scientific and engineering communities.

3D cell printing technology earns ANSTO Eureka Prize for Technology
Researchers and industry partners from UNSW Australia, the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine, Children’s Cancer Institute and Inventia Life Sciences Pty Ltd have been awarded the 2021 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology for their method to rapidly-produce 3D cell structures
ANSTO joins international counterparts in peaceful nuclear monitoring
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has joined a team, lead by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to install a high resolution monitoring system at ANSTO’s medical isotope production facility in Lucas Heights, Australia.
Detailed isotopic profile of groundwater in NSW can inform management of this essential resource
With world-class experts in groundwater and major contributions in this area over two decades, ANSTO completed a major project report on Improving groundwater sustainability and renewability using isotope hydrochemistry in NSW for the Department of Planning and Environment (NSW) and National Water Grid earlier in the year.
The risks posed by stormwater runoff can be monitored with thin-film technology
A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.
ANSTO welcomes $13.9M critical minerals funding
Rare earth elements will be a key area of focus for the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s Minerals unit as it welcomes a $13.9 million funding allocation under the Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub
Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
