Recent catastrophic Australian bushfires produced extremely high levels of fine particle pollution.

In a world-first study, Australian environmental scientists have used cave stalagmites as a record of groundwater replenishment over time, that showed the current level of rainfall recharging groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years.

ANSTO hosted an international training workshop on Pacific isotope hydrology at its Lucas Heights facility in Sydney from 16 - 20 March 2026, bringing together experts and water resource practitioners from across the Pacific and partner organisations.

Close to 3000 members of the public decided to have a look at a building that is shaped like a doughnut, is as big as a football field and creates light more powerful than the sun when the Australian Synchrotron held its bi-annual Open Day held on Sunday, 16 October.

ANSTO offers reliable and traceable calibration services for radiation survey meters, contamination monitors and electronic personal dosimeters.

The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.

Following a decade of imaging to support research and clinical trials at ANSTO and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre at Camperdown, two PET scanners have been transferred to the University of Wollongong.

Two startups supported by the nandin Innovation Centre at ANSTO have hit the ground running in 2021 securing major opportunities from state governments to see their businesses thrive.

Using neutron imaging techniques at ANSTO, researchers from Macquarie University have gained a better understanding of how corrosion forms and spreads through concrete that is commonly used in sewer pipes.
