Sarah is a dedicated science communicator with a strong background in education.
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.
Meeting of minds about potential next-generation cancer treatment for Australians
ANSTO recognises local Indigenous heritage in new mural
ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.
This tour is an introduction to isotopes, radioactivity and half-life, and the real-life applications of these concepts. Students will do a series of hands-on activities using the workbook below.
We are working on new content to address the new 2026 NSW Science Stage 5 (Year 9-10) syllabus.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Please print enough copies of the relevant workbook for your class before your visit to ANSTO.
A group from Monash university has sought to make a new innovative nano-porous sieve material which has the potential to be produced on a global scale and is effective for a much longer time.
Principal Technical Consultant Michael Druce shares some personal insights on the design and construction of ANSTO's nuclear medicine facility.
At ANSTO we understand that diverse teams produce better outcomes – and we value the merit that a diverse perspective can bring to the quality and outcomes of our work, and the way we get the job done.
ANSTO is part of collaboration conducting experiments to redefine the kilogram linking it to a fundamental constant of nature.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.
ANSTO has a range of capabilities and expertise to support aerospace and space research.
A new systematic investigation of the origins of atomic structural distortions in compounds containing uranium has relevance for spent nuclear fuel .
Collaboration finds that old carbon reservoirs are unlikely to cause a massive greenhouse gas release in a warming world.
The Australian Synchrotron is a source of powerful X-rays and infrared radiation that can be used for a wide range of scientific and technical purposes. Synchrotron X-rays are millions of times brighter than those produced by conventional X-ray machines in laboratories and hospitals.
