Our people, the custodians of Australia’s nuclear and accelerator expertise, are amongst our nation’s most talented researchers, scientists, engineers and nuclear experts. Everyday we work to respond to the growing nuclear science and technology needs of Australia and the world.
The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.
Launch of the second phase of construction of the underground laboratory to detect dark matter.
An international team of academic researchers led by Curtin University have provided a description of a new species of pterosaur, a flying reptile.
Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.
A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.
Highlights on the Water Isotope Network project.
Project Geoscientist
Role at ANSTO
Bachelor of interior architecture (honours) student - Swinburne University
As an Australian born Chinese, Jackie first studied accounting and business management before entering the financial field. Wanting a change of pace, she decided to pick up her original goal of becoming an Interior Architect.
It's ANSTO's role to keep Australia across the very latest developments in nuclear science and technology from around the world. Part of this responsibility is keeping us abreast of the latest developments in nuclear power technologies.
Learn about isotopes using real examples and real data, including comprehensive isotopic data of the first twenty chemical elements in the periodic table (hydrogen to calcium). Teachers can use the accompanying worksheet, in sections or in its entirety, to develop student skills in literacy, numeracy, critical and creative thinking and ICT. These activities are suitable for students in Years 9 to 12.
Students will:
- learn how the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope affects its nuclear properties
- construct a section of the Table of isotopes, using MS Excel
- investigate the properties and uses of different isotopes
Technical information on the Far Infrared beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.
The Think Science! event encourages students to engage with the Science Inquiry Skills process as outlined in the Australian National Curriculum.
Health Physics Surveyor, Radiation Protection Services
Internationally recognised for their STEM endeavours, Macinley has developed many devices to aid humanity across sectors including, cancer treatment, water sanitation and renewable energy.
A team of ANSTO health researchers, staff at the Centre for Accelerator Science and Dr Melanie Ferlazzo, a postdoc from the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and scientists from the French Space Agency (CNES), are collaborating on investigations to determine the impact of secondary particles on human cells using the new microprobe beamline at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science.
