Beamtime Guide - X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy

Beamtime Guide - XFM

Beamtime Guide on the X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

Atom Builder

Atom Builder

Build stable and radioactive isotopes using neutrons, protons and electrons with the ANSTO Atom Builder. Discover the uses and properties of common isotopes, and locate elements in the periodic table.

Benefits of nuclear science

Benefits of nuclear science

ANSTO uses nuclear research techniques to address many of the important issues of our time relating to the environment, human health and industry.

Why OPAL is an advanced reactor

With the screening of the popular HBO series about Chernobyl, we asked our Nuclear Analysis team for their insights on key differences between the reactor in the TV series, a Generation II RBMK power reactor and ANSTO’s state of the art research reactor OPAL.

Air pollution over Sydney CBD

Monitoring air pollution and traffic density in Sydney

ANSTO Environmental Researcher Scott Chambers uses a naturally-occurring radioactive gas called Radon-222 to trace sources of pollution in the atmosphere. 

This data set contains hourly observations of meteorology, trace gas pollutants, Radon-222 concentration and traffic density collected from Western Sydney University (Richmond campus) in 2016.

Technical Information

Technical Information

Technical information for the Powder Diffraction beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

Advisory Committee meets

Research portfolio and future expansion of Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering discussed

Doctors viewing a SPECT scan

Radionuclides in medicine

Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs to diagnose or treat disease.

For three unknown medical radionuclides, students will graph their decay over time, use the graph to calculate their half-life, and determine the identify and use of each radionuclide using background information provided.

Facilities meeting

Australian Centre for Neutorn Scattering - National Deuteration Facility Advisory Committee meets

A demo image of Ansto XR.

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.

An image of an atom, with protons, neutrons and electrons.

Investigating isotopes

Learn about isotopes using real examples and real data, including comprehensive isotopic data of the first twenty chemical elements in the periodic table (hydrogen to calcium). 

Students will:
- learn how the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope affects its nuclear properties
- construct a section of the Table of isotopes, using MS Excel
- investigate the properties and uses of different isotopes
