Leading review confirms Australia's world-class credentials in nuclear safety and security
ANSTO has just completed the largest coordinated safety and security review of the OPAL multi-purpose research reactor, as part of a new a world-leading approach to assessing performance
Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations
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.
Research highlights how to make food different and better by design
International researchers have used nuclear techniques at ANSTO - a centre for food materials science - to develop a methodology that could assist in the design of oleogel systems for food applications.
Celebrating ANSTO and 70 years of Australia’s home-grown nuclear expertise
In 2023 we’re celebrating the 70th Anniversary since Australia began developing our nation’s Australia’s nuclear capabilities.
ANSTO offers new career opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Australia’s knowledge centre for nuclear science and engineering, ANSTO, announced an exciting career opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
ISO nuclear safety certification is a first in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere
Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal and Early Career Award announced
The 2023 Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal has been awarded to Dr Yanxiang Meng from the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research and the University of Melbourne for his research investigating the molecular mechanism at work in a form of programmed cell death, which is implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases.
Investigating the impact of radiation and radioactive contamination on forensic trace evidence
Using neutrons to show weak spots in turbines, railway lines and pipes
Rare boomerangs used by ancestors of Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka people dated at ANSTO
A rare collection of traditional Aboriginal wooden objects in varying degrees of preservation found along a dry creek bed in South Australia have been dated to a period spanning 1650 to 1830 at the Centre for Accelerator Science at ANSTO.

Workshop on Isotope Engineering and Nuclear Characterisation of Novel Nanostructured Functional Materials
You can now buy that perfect Christmas gift and support Australian research
If you have someone to buy for who loves gifts that “give back” or prefers gifts that are interesting and thought-provoking–look no further.
Australian researchers connected to global developments in new and emerging nuclear energy technologies
The Australian Government recently signed a landmark emissions reduction technology deal with Great Britain, which includes nuclear energy and clean hydrogen among the six key low emission technologies the two countries hope to advance.

Medicine and food - identifying small things that could be a big problem
ANSTO can analyse minute amounts of organic or inorganic matter embedded in a complex material
New low level waste storage technology enhances safety, access and efficiency
The Waste Management Services group at ANSTO is now using a new automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) that will enhance safety, access and efficiency.
New language resource launched as part of local Aboriginal cultural recognition
ANSTO has hosted an event to launch a new Dharawal language learning resource for primary students at the nandin innovation centre.
Research on nuclear fuel burnup supports reduction of waste and fuel costs
Recent research investigating what occurs at the interface of the uranium oxide fuel pellet and the surrounding cladding supports efforts to increase the burnup level of nuclear reactor fuel.
