The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.

ANSTO’s own meteorite hunter, who is also a planetary scientist and instrument scientist Dr Helen Brand took part in an expedition led by Professor Andy Tomkins of Monash University that has found the largest meteorite strewn field in Australia since the famous Murchison meteorite event in 1969.

ANSTO showcased its significant contribution to security, safety, and public health during a visit of the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic, Australian Ambassador to Austria Richard Sinclair and Ambassador for Arms Control and Counter-Proliferation Ian Biggs and other dignitaries at the weekend.

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

The ANSTO Science Series is a live and virtual meet-up that focuses on the key capacities of ANSTO’s people, partners and facilities and how they are meeting global challenges in sustainable industries, medicine, advanced manufacturing and in accelerating small business.

Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported new archaeological research conducted by Flinders University and the University of Queensland that describes significant earth mound features used for cooking that were created by Aboriginal people in the Riverland region of South Australia.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

In mid-February ANSTO attended a meeting at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to discuss and produce recommendations for the development of a new Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on Seafood Origin and Authenticity using Nuclear and Related Technologies to progress the IAEA flagship initiative Atoms4Food.

MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.

The Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub (the Hub) unites the expertise of top Federal science agencies: ANSTO, Geoscience Australia, and CSIRO with the aim of addressing technical challenges and drive collaborative research across the critical minerals value chain.

A special inaugural event held by ANSTO at its Australian Synchrotron for more than 30 funding organisations has showcased the first of the $100 million BRIGHT Program’s brand new, state-of-the-art beamlines.
