We are using nuclear and other methods to improve the traceability of food to ensure safety and security for consumers and industry, optimise the various functions of food and its production and understand the fundamental mechanisms that link some food to an immune response
The samples preparation facilities include state-of-the-art chemistry laboratories and other specialist supporting areas
The Centre for Accelerator Science welcomes collaborations with industry for the development of new technologies,
Students learn about light and the colour spectrum, why objects are coloured, differences between coloured light and pigment and how our eyes see colour and light. They engage in two hands-on activities that combine science with art and encourage creative exploration of colour and light.
The ANSTO primary tour experience has been enjoyed by thousands of students. Visit world-class science facilities and learn about the important role of scientists in society and the different environments they work in. Students participate in a fun and engaging "Colour and Light Show" and discuss their science interests with our experienced education team.
Shorebirds links to NSW and Victorian curricula.
Students take a close “look” at matter and learn about the atoms that make up solids, liquids and gases in the Periodic Table in a hands-on activity with real samples. Using model kits students join atoms to create everyday subs

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.
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.

Radioactive radon gas is a decay product of uranium and thorium, which are found naturally in rocks, soil and building materials. 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 charging a balloon, which was then hung in an enclosed space, on its level of radioactivity.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.
Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.
ITRAX has now analysed more than a kilometre of cores since it became operational in 2012.
ANSTO has recently participated in a regional program in Bangkok, Thailand, on food safety, security, and productivity using nuclear science and technology in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Nuclear science is applied by ANSTO's scientists in many areas that are vital to Australia's future, including agriculture, industry and manufacturing, minerals construction, health and environment. Our work in the development and applications and new knowledge and skills arises from world-class experience in nuclear science and technologies.
Radiocarbon dating of mud wasp nests was used as an indirect method of dating the Gwion Gwion style.
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.
