Virtual activities celebrating the benefits of nuclear science and technology held for National Science Week

In an effort to understand why the Tongan Hunga volcano eruption was so explosive, internationally-recognised volcanologist Prof. Shane Cronin of the University of Auckland and associates rely on beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron to support comprehensive research on the Hunga event.

Just under 250 schools in Australia and one school in Malaysia will participate in a series of science-based competitions during to coincide with National Science Week in 2024.

ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.

Applications and Publications

Bushfires in proximity to ANSTO during the 2018 bushfires.

An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.

Understanding of micro-structure gained using X-ray scattering and spectroscopy.

Research represents significant step towards developing vaccine

The protein mapping workhorses of the Australian Synchrotron, Macromolecular and Microfocus crystallography beamlines, MX1 and 2, continue to support important biomedical research in the development of vaccines and new therapeutics.

Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy developed at ANSTO.

ANSTO has contributed to international research on quasicrystals that opens the door to tailored magnetic materials.
