The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

Research is being undertaken through an Australian Research Council Discovery Project "Reconstructing Australia’s fire history from cave stalagmites", led by Professor Andy Baker at UNSW Sydney and Dr. Pauline Treble at ANSTO. The project aims to calibrate the fire-speleothem relationship and develop coupled fire and climate records for the last millennium in southwest Australia.

The analytical power of non-destructive X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) at the Australian Synchrotron has been highlighted in a book chapter in Giorgione, Dante and the Sydney Incunable that features its use on an historic Renaissance work, Dante’s Commedia.

On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.

Our research group carries out fundamental research uniquely applied to industrial problems in the areas of uranium, rare earth and lithium processing.

The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline

The OPAL research reactor's design and integrated safety features mean it is extremely safe; a fact confirmed by independent analysis.

ANSTO manufacture and supply a range of radiopharmaceuticals, radiochemicals, kits and accessories for use in research, industry and the health sector.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

ANSTO’s user office in Melbourne offers access to the Australian Synchrotron, a world-class research facility with over 4,000 user visits per year. ANSTO seeks collaboration and partnerships with research organisations, scientific users and commercial users.

ANSTO's Mo-99 manufacturing facility secures Australia’s ability to produce Mo-99 to meet current and future domestic demand and provide a significant proportion to support global demand.

Five exceptional female science communicators are part of a larger team who use skills in education and engagement to promote an interest in science amongst the public and students.
