Physicist to become surrogate inspector
Young physicist in training to become a surrogate inspector for Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation.
Plans to safely manage medical and research waste
ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.
First synchrotron light is a milestone for new instruments at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron
NSTO’S major project to introduce eight new beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone with the delivery of ‘first light’ to the new MEX-1 beamline.

Meet some of the women from the history of ANSTO who were pioneers in their time
The celebration of the UN’s International Women’s Day 2023 has a theme that highlights the power of innovative IT to combat discrimination and the marginalisation of women globally.
Landscape reconstruction
Research to assess the impact of recent landscape change by measuring fundamental geomorphic processes that are the result of long-term landscape evolution.
Using uranium to create order from disorder
The first demonstration of reversible symmetry lowering phase transformation with heating.
Statement of Expectations
On the 9th of December 2022, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.
New class of hydrogen conductors for industry
New class of conducting materials found for potential use in next generation fuel cells and other applications.
Women's fertility linked to detox element selenium in diet
Researchers investigate the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plants
Using elemental data to combat illegal wildlife trade
This resource guides students through how to interpret and analyse authentic research data, generated during a collaborative project between UNSW, UTS, ANSTO and Taronga Zoo Sydney. The project examines the use of high-resolution x-ray fluorescence as a tool to combat the international illegal wildlife trade (IWT) of short beaked echidnas, which are being removed from the wild and claimed as captive-bred. These activities are suitable for Senior Biology students as well as students in Years 9 and 10.
Students will:
- examine the adaptations of short beaked echidnas that increase their ability to survive in their environment
- explore the use of technology in contributing to the study and conservation of biodiversity
- construct simple graphs of the provided data using MS Excel, and interpret and analyse these graphs
- investigate how scientific knowledge interacts with social, economic, cultural and ethical issues.
Promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater
An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.
