Finalists for ANSTO Awards in Nuclear Science and Technology

Historic greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core sampling

ANSTO Physicist Andrew Smith collaborates with international scientists to study historical greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core samples. This data set contains temperature records and concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane from the last 800,000 years.

Students will:

read suggested articles relating to the increase in concentration of greenhouse gases
construct graphs using the data provided
use the knowledge and understanding acquired from reading the suggested articles and their constructed graphs to answer questions provided

ANSTO Air quality monitoring in the Port Kembla area

Removal of dangerous contaminants from dirty water

A group from Monash university has sought to make a new innovative nano-porous sieve material which has the potential to be produced on a global scale and is effective for a much longer time.

Making food safer and fighting food fraud with nuclear tools

DGet! An open source deuteration calculator for mass spectrometry data

Robotics hub to improve management of Australian infrastructure and assets

ANSTO participation in ARC on Intelligent Robotic Systems for Real-time Asset Management has potential benefit in the management of infrastructure and assets

New ANSTO Board appointment – Rear Admiral Katherine Richards AM CSC

Australia’s best and brightest nuclear scientists recognised in 2018 ANSTO Awards

The ANSTO Awards in Nuclear Science and Technology 2018 were presented on Friday 2 November at The Australian Museum, and showcased ANSTO’s unique nuclear science and technology capabilities, which enable progress in the key areas of health research and innovation for industry.

ANSTO radon detector redefines the cleanest air on the planet

Advances in radon measurement technology by ANSTO researchers over the past decade have enabled the improved characterisation of the composition of pristine air masses that reach Antarctica.

Nuclear facts

Nuclear science is applied by ANSTO's scientists in many areas that are vital to Australia's future, including agriculture, industry and manufacturing, minerals construction, health and environment. Our work in the development and applications and new knowledge and skills arises from world-class experience in nuclear science and technologies.

Neutrinos, atomic clocks and an experiment to detect a time dilation

Griffith University researchers are conducting an experiment at ANSTO that will test a revolutionary physics theory that time reversal symmetry-breaking by neutrinos might cause a time dilation at the quantum scale.

From the frontline: Dating the ancient past in tiny bites

Creating a Feather Map to track waterbirds and inform water resource management

Researchers use ANSTO's Australian Synchrotron to clarify immune response mechanism

Experiments undertaken at the Australian Synchrotron have allowed research teams from Monash University and La Trobe University to clarify fundamental aspects of T-cell activation crucial to the body’s immune response to disease.

Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal and Early Career Award announced

The 2023 Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal has been awarded to Dr Yanxiang Meng from the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research and the University of Melbourne for his research investigating the molecular mechanism at work in a form of programmed cell death, which is implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases.
