ANSTO has a variety of games and apps to educate students on how radiation works, nuclear medicine, the periodic table, and atom building.

The sap extracted from Sugar Maple trees, is used to produce maple syrup. There are many conflicting theories and an absence of experimental evidence, regarding the mechanisms involved in maple sap exudation.

ANSTO joined the Australian delegation at the 68th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month in Vienna, participating in a number of insightful side-events and fruitful bilateral partnership meetings.

ANSTO in consultation with partners has developed a specialised training course to support first responder agencies in ensuring personnel are effectively prepared for response to radiological and nuclear emergency situations.

Energy researchers from UNSW have reported progress using controlled architectural design and structural engineering as a method to fine-tune materials to have simultaneous high power and high energy density for the electrochemical storage in portable devices.

ANSTO has just completed the largest coordinated safety and security review of the OPAL multi-purpose research reactor, as part of a new a world-leading approach to assessing performance

ANSTO hosted an online training workshop for the FNCA (Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia) project Combating Food Fraud using Nuclear Technology (CFF) in early December.

The Australian Nuclear Association (ANA) has awarded Lubi Dimitrovski, former Manager, ANSTO Waste Operations (1995-2012) and former General Manager Nuclear Operations (2013-2018), its Award for 2022 in recognition of his leadership role in radioactive waste management in Australia.

Recent research investigating what occurs at the interface of the uranium oxide fuel pellet and the surrounding cladding supports efforts to increase the burnup level of nuclear reactor fuel.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

ANSTO’s food provenance research gathers momentum with progress on the development of handheld technology for off-site assessments of origin tiger prawns and an expansion of the work to other seafood species.

Radiocarbon dating capabilities at the Centre for Accelerator Science have provided evidence of a 17,300-year old painting of a kangaroo from the Kimberley region.
