ANSTO is the new production partner of OncoBeta® GmbH in Australia
Innovative medical device Rhenium-SCT® therapy for non-melanoma skin cancer is now available in Australia
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.
Reducing, reusing and recycling mining waste
Two approaches use existing low cost and low energy technologies to reuse stockpiled waste from mining operations - capturing carbon dioxide in the form of valuable carbonate minerals.
New anti-cancer drugs put cancers to sleep… permanently
Biochemical and structural studies to elucidate protein interactions of the new compounds and target molecules included X-ray diffraction at the Australian Synchrotron.

Earthquake clues unearthed in strange, precariously balanced rocks
Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.
Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO informs date of oldest known Aboriginal rock art
Radiocarbon dating capabilities at the Centre for Accelerator Science have provided evidence of a 17,300-year old painting of a kangaroo from the Kimberley region.
Enhancing the science of rivets earns researcher early career award
Dr Rezwanul Haque, now a senior lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, received a national Young Scientist Award for his earlier research using nuclear techniques at ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering to find cracks and signs of stress in riveted joints in sheet metal in car bodies.
OPAL 2024 Shutdown
ANSTO's OPAL reactor is one of the world's most advanced and reliable research reactors today. To ensure we can continue operating OPAL safely and reliably and maximise utilisation, ANSTO must regularly carry out maintenance and upgrades.
Building a new neutron reflectometer
A sparrow with 257 parts weighing more than 29 tonnes arrives safely at ANSTO
Giant clams open up climate secrets
Feathery moa’s fossilised footprints, ancient age revealed
ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.
Role at ANSTO
Carbon ion therapy research
ANSTO research focuses on an advanced form of cancer treatment under consideration in Australia.
