This scholarship recognises outstanding ability and promise in the field of nuclear science and technology, specifically as it applies to nuclear energy. Successful applicants will demonstrate a history of interest in nuclear energy and a desire to continue this interest.

Osteoporosis is a major public health issue, and it has been estimated that total annual cost of osteoporosis/osteopenia in Australia is around $2,754 million.

The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

Overlaying a 360° x 90° radiation image onto a panoramic optical image of the scene, makes interpretation much easier. The spectroscopic detector at the heart of the imager enables the accurate visualisation and identification of sources across a broad energy range. 

The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.

An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.

Nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) is a promising material for future biological and electrochemical applications.

ANSTO groundwater experts have collaborated with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment on a comprehensive survey of groundwater resources in the state.

An international collaboration led by The University of Sydney and supported by ANSTO has developed an advanced, innovative artificial intelligence application that could be used to help examine tissue samples and identify signs of disease/

Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) detects charged particles and is used predominantly to determine concentrations and depth profiles of the lighter elements.
