Role at ANSTO
Aboriginal inhabitants of Madjedbebe, northern Australia used different ways to adapt to environmental change
ANSTO has contributed to research that indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies, allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last ca. 65,000 years.
Deciphering the complex molecular activity that leads to cell death
Research on the mechanism of cell death has insights to bring progress on neurodegenerative diseases and plant biosecurity.

Role at ANSTO

Public Interest Disclosure Scheme
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013 aims to promote integrity and accountability in the Australian Public Sector by encouraging the disclosure of information about actual or suspected wrongdoing, protecting people who make disclosures and ensuring that disclosures are properly investigated and dealt with.
New laboratory opens
A new source added to ANSTO’s cosmogenic toolkit to study past climate and landscape change
Two lectures from distinguished physicist
Dr Catalina Curceanu will explore exotic atoms and impossible phenomena in the universe.

Imaging and medical
The Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) is a flagship beamline of the Australian Synchrotron built with considerable support from the NHMRC. It is one of only a few of its type, and delivers the world’s widest synchrotron x-ray ‘beam’.
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.
Synchrotron-studied protein sheds light on Parkinson’s, stomach cancer, melanoma
Collaboration across the Tasman has enabled Australian and New Zealand researchers and scientists to shed light on a protein involved in diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, gastric cancer and melanoma.

User Meeting 2020 Invited Speakers
The User Advisory Committee (UAC) are pleased to present this year's invited speakers.

Reducing cadmium in cocoa
New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.
Australian physicists attend research meeting that tackles challenging diagnostics of plasma physics
International fusion researchers, including ANSTO’s Dr Richard Garrett, have recently returned from ITER in France where they attended a meeting of the coordinating committee of the International Tokomak Physics Activity (ITPA).
ANSTO partners with the world's largest engineering project
International fusion researchers recently returned from ITER in France where they attended a meeting of the coordinating committee of the International Tokomak Physics Activity.

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.
