Capabilities
ANSTO provides access to specialised facilities and capabilities by application. Please ensure that you contact the relevant ANSTO scientist for advice before submitting a proposal.
Year 12 Physics Online Learning
Participate in live radiation demonstrations, cover syllabus content and visit ANSTO virtually during our online depth study classes for Year 12 Physics.
- Participate in live demonstrations to review the properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
- Learn about radioactive decay, half-life and methods of detecting radiation, including with a cloud chamber.
- Define and understand applications of fission, fusion, binding energy and mass defect, and investigate the structure and function of the OPAL multipurpose reactor.
- Investigate the role and operation of particle accelerators at ANSTO.
Cost: $90 per class.
Reducing, reusing and recycling mining waste
Two approaches use existing low cost and low energy technologies to reuse stockpiled waste from mining operations - capturing carbon dioxide in the form of valuable carbonate minerals.

Role at ANSTO
ANSTO XR
The Free ANSTO XR app uses a mix of AR and VR to transport you to the scale of an atom and discover the world of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
See how synchrotron light generated from super accelerated electrons can give scientists x-ray vision.
See how the ANSTO periodic table poster works with Augmented Reality.
After your experiment
Following your experiment at the Australian Synchrotron there are certain tasks that users can complete including a user feedback survey and claiming reimbursement for travel expenses.
Radioisotopes
Using the OPAL multipurpose reactor,, ANSTO can provide a diverse suite of radioisotopes for research and applications
Research sheds light on mechanism by which long-term anti-anxiety drug use affects the brain
ANSTO health researchers have contributed to an international study published in Nature Neuroscience that sheds light on the mechanism by which anti-anxiety drugs act on the brain which could lead to cognitive impairment in vulnerable individuals.
Investigating the impact of radiation and radioactive contamination on forensic trace evidence
Towards realisation of novel semiconductor radiation detectors
Pioneering techniques advance understanding of metals under extreme conditions
Project highlights
The Minerals consultancy group at ANSTO has expertise in chemical engineering, metallurgy, mineralogy, chemistry, geology, and radiation safety. We can support our client's project by providing process development services, technical review, and research.
ANSTO scientists would have preferred more about the physics but impressed with Oppenheimer
In part 1 of this two-part series, ANSTO scientists from across the organisation became film critics to review Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Oppenheimer, which explores the life of the director of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic weapon.
Apps
ANSTO has a variety of games and apps to educate students on how radiation works, nuclear medicine, the periodic table, and atom building.
Particle Therapy
ANSTO is supporting the introduction of particle therapy, an advanced form of radiation treatment for difficult-to-treat cancers, in Australia
Bacteria-driven remediation of iron ore tailings
Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

Role at ANSTO
Imaging and medical
The Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) is a flagship beamline of the Australian Synchrotron built with considerable support from the NHMRC. It is one of only a few of its type, and delivers the world’s widest synchrotron x-ray ‘beam’.
