Using isotopes to understand saltwater intrusion of Rottnest Island groundwater

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

ANSTO is working with government partners to ensure that radioactivity in drinking water supplied to Aboriginal communities is at levels considered safe for consumption.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering succcess at 2017 awards

Two ANSTO scientists were part of a research team led by the University of Wollongong, who are finalists for the 2019 NSW Environment, Energy and Science (DPIE) Eureka Prize for Environmental Research.

With world-class experts in groundwater and major contributions in this area over two decades, ANSTO completed a major project report on Improving groundwater sustainability and renewability using isotope hydrochemistry in NSW for the Department of Planning and Environment (NSW) and National Water Grid earlier in the year.

ANSTO Nuclear Fuel Cycle researcher recognised for contributions to crystallography and structural chemistry on actinides and lanthanides.

ANSTO plays a leading role in measuring and characterising fine particles from a range of locations around Australia and internationally.

ANSTO Publications Online is a digital repository for publications authored by ANSTO staff and collaborators since 1956.

An international team led by scientists at City University of Hong Kong has found flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) with one-dimensional channels that acts as a “molecular trapdoor” to selectively adsorb gases, such as carbon dioxide, in response to temperature and pressure changes.

Exploring the interaction of polystyrene nanoplastics and blood plasma proteins.

Understanding the impact that contaminants on the environment within the Resources sector is essential to implement successful management strategies.

Overlaying a 360° x 90° radiation image onto a panoramic optical image of the scene, makes interpretation much easier. The spectroscopic detector at the heart of the imager enables the accurate visualisation and identification of sources across a broad energy range. 

A new nuclear medicine waste processing facility that showcases ANSTO Synroc technology is under construction.
