The past, present and future of OPAL explored in special event
A panel discussion was held at Lucas Heights that explored the legacy and future of OPAL, Australia’s world‑class research reactor, and its role in shaping national and global scientific capability.
Research confirms that echidnas and platypuses descended from an aquatic ancestor
A paper led by researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) published in the PNAS last year has confirmed the theory that echidnas and platypuses descended from an aquatic ancestor with fossil evidence.
Collaborative research brings new insights into radioactive waste, nuclear fuel and nuclear waste forms
ANSTO researchers have demonstrated longstanding expertise in the study of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste with two recent journal articles in a special issue of Frontiers of Chemistry.
Our understanding of the atom powers ANSTO's nuclear and accelerator research techniques
Scientists at ANSTO characterise structures with atomic detail using probes such as x-rays, electrons, neutrons and ions.
