Celebrating with events in 2025
Over the next week, ANSTO will be joining the festivities of National Science Week with an exciting lineup of activities that celebrate science and technology
Radiation biology
The measurement and manipulation of radiation and radioactive materials within biological systems. Capabilities include access to a range of radioisotopes, gamma/X-ray sources and a selection of X-ray beams, ion beams and neutron beams for irradiation.
Exploring what scientists do
This resource gives students an opportunity to engage in scientific inquiry through the application of working scientifically skills/inquiry skills. The document provides a systematic, step by step scaffold of a scientific investigation using secondary data of atmospheric measurements made on the grounds of Liverpool Girls' High School from March 2019 to February 2020. This resource is suitable for Years 7-10.
Students will:
- propose an hypothesis after researching relevant background information
- process and analyse data and information
- create a graph and interpret results
- communicate the process and findings of their investigation in the form of a scientific report
- increase their understanding of the atmosphere and the factors that influence it
Partnering in Antarctic research
Environmental scientists at ANSTO will contribute to major Antarctic research project in Antarctica funded by the Australian Research Council.
Ion beam analysis techniques
When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.
Exhibition recognised with prestigious MAGNA 2022 Research award
A Powerhouse exhibition was recognised with a prestigious Museums and Galleries National Award for Research at a ceremony in Perth this morning. The Invisible Revealed exhibition was organised in collaboration with ANSTO and the University of NSW.

Book a tour
Go behind the scenes at ANSTO with one of our community tours and see the landmark facilities our scientists use to improve our health, understand our environment, and develop new solutions for industry.
Year 12 Investigating Science
Our Year 12 Investigating Science 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 6: Technologies and Module 8: Science and Society.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes.
The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Teachers are requested to print enough copies of the relevant workbook for their class before their visit to ANSTO, as students will not be permitted to bring digital devices on-site.

Understanding the full impact of radiation on astronauts
In collaboration with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the French International Space Agency (CNES), ANSTO scientists are undertaking research on the radiobiological effects of secondary particles that are created when radiation interacts with the shielding on the International Space Station.
International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification visits Lucas Heights during Australia’s first Plenary meeting in Sydney
This month, ANSTO hosted a delegation from the International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) as part of the IPNDV’s Plenary meeting in Sydney. The meeting marked the first time Australia has hosted the IPNDV.
