Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.

ANSTO highlighted its food origin research with live shows and an expert panel discussion to showcase Australian science in the Australia Pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka from 8-10 October.

Frequently asked questions about beamtime, accommodation and the user portal.

Scientists have found a new approach to killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria using lipid nanoparticles that target specific layers on the surface of the bacterial cell.

ANSTO is a unique national science organisation that began operating under its predecessor The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) 70 years ago.

A specialist in particle therapy treatment planning from the Mayo Clinic in the US, Professor Chris Beltran, recently visited ANSTO for an exchange for information.

Over 250 students took part in ANSTO's annual Science and Engineering Challenge with an all-girl school taking top honours.

ANSTO renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) operated by the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK) and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Now broadened to include their partner Comprehensive Research Organization for Science and Society (CROSS), the signing took place early in the year and a celebratory workshop was held late July.

A new radiocarbon dating facility opened at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will complement the extensive radiocarbon facilities at ANSTO’s world-leading Centre for Accelerator Science

Radioisotope tracing technique are used to understand the uptake of contaminants, and nutrients, bioaccumulation, by aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants.

Dr Helen Maynard-Casely will be taking neutron physics on a road trip

ANSTO has secured a $1.62 million Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) grant under the Australian Brain Cancer Mission’s 2024 Brain Cancer Discovery and Translation program

There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.

Scientists from UNSW and ANSTO have characterised the structure of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonites, and nitrides (MXenes) materials, that could be used as a lightweight fire-retardant filler and in energy storage devices.

In partnership with the Australian Museum as part of National Science Week explore the 2020 hackathon theme of Deep Blue: Innovation for the future of our oceans

Our temperature sample environments include closed cycle refrigerators, cryofurnaces, cryostates, furnaces, rapid thermal devices, temperature baths and low temperature inserts.
