Consortium will map the 86 billion nerve cells, 100 trillion connections and neurotransmitters in the human brain.

Although Australia does not use nuclear energy for power needs, it does have the nuclear capabilities, knowledge, and expertise provided by ANSTO to ensure the national interest in nuclear matters is protected and advanced.

ANSTO research focuses on an advanced form of cancer treatment under consideration in Australia.

ANSTO works in partnerships and collaborative ventures with national and international organisations. Partner with ANSTO.

An international team of academic researchers led by Curtin University have provided a description of a new species of pterosaur, a flying reptile.

Just under 250 schools in Australia and one school in Malaysia will participate in a series of science-based competitions during to coincide with National Science Week in 2024.

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

The celebration of the UN’s International Women’s Day 2023 has a theme that highlights the power of innovative IT to combat discrimination and the marginalisation of women globally.

Australian-first detector to accelerate cancer research unveiled.

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.

The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.

Retrieving an Antarctic ice core more than a million years old presents challenges and opportunities.

With a well-established portfolio of nuclear research and the operation of Australia's only nuclear reactor OPAL, ANSTO scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research on fuel for current, advanced, and future nuclear technology systems.

ANSTO has put together a robust multidisciplinary approach to understanding the impacts of nanomaterials, investigating a common food additive, E171 titanium dioxide, used primarily as a colouring agent in everyday foods. 

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

Ion beam analysis techniques can be used for trace element analysis and the surface characterisation of diverse materials.

Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.
