Unique immune system of the alpaca being used in COVID-19 research
Scientists from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) are using the unique immune system of the alpaca and techniques at the Australian Synchrotron as part of research using antibodies to disrupt COVID-19 viral entry into cells.
Rare boomerangs used by ancestors of Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka people dated at ANSTO
A rare collection of traditional Aboriginal wooden objects in varying degrees of preservation found along a dry creek bed in South Australia have been dated to a period spanning 1650 to 1830 at the Centre for Accelerator Science at ANSTO.
Verifying the integrity of products made by additive manufacturing during the build
Australian Nuclear Association recognises former manager of nuclear reactor and waste operations
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.
Using neutrons to show weak spots in turbines, railway lines and pipes
Workshop on Isotope Engineering and Nuclear Characterisation of Novel Nanostructured Functional Materials
Research on nuclear fuel burnup supports reduction of waste and fuel costs
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.
Leading review confirms Australia's world-class credentials in nuclear safety and security
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
Seafood origin research gathers momentum with benefits for consumers, industry and government
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.
Haemoglobin study sheds light on one of our bodies most important molecules
Monash scientist earns Stephen Wilkins PhD Thesis Medal for innovative brain imaging
Dr Linda Croton, a Research Fellow at Monash University, has been awarded the 2020 ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis medal for her outstanding work using synchrotron-based X-ray for brain imaging.
Fine tuning materials for energy storage using architectural design and structural engineering

Professor Calum Drummond awarded the 2015 Victoria Prize for Science and Innovation
Advanced food provenance and biosecurity in the Asia Pacific with FNCA project
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.
Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations
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.
Mummified remains reveal breathing and movement in the ancient world of reptiles
An international team has published research in Nature today that identified the oldest known mummified remains of an exceptionally well-preserved terrestrial vertebrate, a 289-million-year-old reptile Captorhinus.
20 years of OPAL: The reactor powering Australian science, medicine and innovation
This week marks 20 years since ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose reactor first achieved criticality - a defining moment for Australian nuclear science and the beginning of two decades of discoveries, medical advances and industrial innovation delivered from ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus.
