Role of the translocator protein in mitigating stress
TSPO is a protein that is associated with crucial cellular functions including the activity of the mitochondria. A mouse model in which the TSPO (18 kDa) is knocked out was developed at ANSTO in collaboration with The University of Sydney.

First molecular spectroscopy on Pelican
Industry applications
With significant expertise and capabilities in reactor technologies, ANSTO works collaboratively with academia and industry on specific projects that benefit the Australian technology sector.
Cultural Heritage
Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
Before your experiment
As a new or returning facility user, there are certain requirements that must be completed in advance to allow you to participate in your planned ANSTO experiment(s).

Radioisotopes in Medicine online learning module
Students explore the medical applications of radioisotopes using an online, scenario-based learning experience.
Students will:
- Select the appropriate radioisotope for each patient and their medical issue.
- Relate the characteristics of a medical radioisotope (half-life and type of radiation emitted) to its use.
- Complete decay equations for four commonly used radioisotopes.
A student workbook to accompany this module is available. Answers available upon request via education@ansto.gov.au
Air pollution from combustion processes in Newcastle
Combustion reactions in vehicles, household woodfires and coal-fired power plants all result in fine particle air pollution in the air we breathe. ANSTO has been measuring and characterising fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia for more than 30 years.
This data set provides records from 1998 to 2019 of the concentration of 12 elements present in fine airborne particulate matter from an air sampling station located in Mayfield in Newcastle, NSW.
Year 12 Physics Tour
Our Year 12 Physics tour and depth study guide can be used as the starting point for a depth study about nuclear science, covering nuclear-related components of Module 8: From the Universe to the Atom.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Please print enough copies of the relevant workbook for your class before your visit to ANSTO.
Nuclear remote online Laboratory (FarLabs)
Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FarLabs) have developed a nuclear remote online laboratory that schools can use to perform experiments with nuclear radiation. Two experiments allow students to investigate the penetrating power of different forms of radiation and how the amount of radiation decreases with distance.
The FarLabs project is led by the Department of Physics at La Trobe University in collaboration with James Cook University, Curtin University, Quantum Victoria, V3 Alliance, and ANSTO.

ANSTO STEAM Activities
ANSTO’s online STEAM activity resources encourage creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by incorporating the arts (the A in STEAM).
Try these activities at home, in the classroom, or during the school holidays! You only need a few things from around the house to do these activities, plus your imagination! We will be adding new activities at the end of each term. So, watch this space for more engaging and creative STEAM experiences coming soon!
