ANSTO offers a diverse range of career opportunities within science, engineering, corporate services and trade disciplines.

Detailed molecular structure of silver nanocrystals determined

In an effort to understand why the Tongan Hunga volcano eruption was so explosive, internationally-recognised volcanologist Prof. Shane Cronin of the University of Auckland and associates rely on beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron to support comprehensive research on the Hunga event.

There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.

The Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope reveals the inner workings of life at the cellular level.

INVAP, the Argentinian advanced nuclear technology company, who designed and constructed the Open Pool Lightwater Reactor (OPAL) for ANSTO to replace the HIFAR reactor is celebrating 50 years of operations with the visit of a group of INVAP executives to ANSTO to celebrate their achievements and discuss future collaborations.
