Excellent radiolabelling facilities and the operation of OPAL, a world-class multi-purpose nuclear reactor, enable ANSTO to produce a large range of radioisotopes for Australian researchers in both radiopharmaceutical and environmental areas.
In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.
A large group of ANSTO environmental scientists and collaborators have produced the first groundwater stable isotopes, ‘isoscapes’, intuitive maps with grid data, across NSW combining new and pre-existing isotope measurements.
Nuclear power is used as a reliable and clean energy solution in most OECD countries and many other parts of the world. Although it is banned in Australia, a number of government reviews are looking at current prohibitions on nuclear power.
Kathleen manages the quality and document management systems, and oversees procedures for inspection, testing, and calibration of equipment and systems, to support the accelerator operations and beam lines.
The analytical power of non-destructive X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) at the Australian Synchrotron has been highlighted in a book chapter in Giorgione, Dante and the Sydney Incunable that features its use on an historic Renaissance work, Dante’s Commedia.
The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering and National Deuteration Facility have announced the first recipients of the Neutron and Deuteration Impact Awards.
Using the past to illuminate the future: Brothers collaborate on important science documentary for ABC TV
A cross-disciplinary team has used laboratory-based and synchrotron-based infrared spectroscopy imaging techniques to monitor the waxy surface of living plant leaves in real-time to gain insights into plant physiology in response to disease, biological changes or environmental stress.
The sap extracted from Sugar Maple trees, is used to produce maple syrup. There are many conflicting theories and an absence of experimental evidence, regarding the mechanisms involved in maple sap exudation.
Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
Combining scientific expertise with more than $1.3 billion in unique operational assets to provide optimal radioactive waste solutions.
The complex engineering of scientific instruments is explored in this 'behind the scenes' look at the installation of frontends for two new beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron.
ANSTO shared expertise on next-generation reactors and nuclear power with sustainable energy experts at the Australian Academy of Science symposium in May.
Join us for this online webinar to explore and discuss the huge opportunities in growing a dynamic and impactful future nuclear workforce.
This week women in science from 16 countries came together like never before. Inspiring women, young and old, were the first to complete the W4NSEC (Women for Nuclear Science Education and Communication) program that is designed to support women who are wanting to improve their education and communication skills in nuclear science.
A team of scientists led by Monash University and the University of Melbourne in association with the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity have made progress in clarifying the molecular interactions that underpin how our adaptive immune cells recognise SARS CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.
