Development of radioisotopes
Research and development activity explores new, boutique radioisotopes, including positron, gamma and beta/gamma emitter. The aim is to provide material for the next generation of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals
Accelerator mass spectrometry techniques
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the use of an ion accelerator as a powerful mass spectrometer.
Science Series Webinars
The ANSTO Science Series is a live and virtual meet-up that focuses on the key capacities of ANSTO’s people, partners and facilities and how they are meeting global challenges in sustainable industries, medicine, advanced manufacturing and in accelerating small business.
Neutron Activation Analysis and Neutron Irradiation
Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.
Ion beam analysis techniques
When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.
Radon
The Radon Analytical Laboratory operates a comprehensive suite of instrumentation for the monitoring and analysis of natural radioactivity resulting from radon, thoron and their progeny.
Strategic research agreement
Strategic partnership with the University of Sydney expanded to continue a long history of research collaboration.
Award-winning research publication on superalloys
Industrial Engagement Manager at ANSTO and Professor in Advanced Structural Materials at the University of Sydney, Anna Paradowska is among the authors who contributed to a 2019 paper that was recently awarded the ASM International ASM Henry Marion Howe Medal in Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A.
Australia is home to one of the world’s best nuclear reactors
Over the past 70 years ANSTO has been building Australia’s nuclear expertise and despite being small in scale, today we are complex and sophisticated nuclear nation.
Infrastructure - Cultural Heritage
In Australia and the Southeast Asia basin, the ANSTO facility offers a wide range of unique nuclear-beam techniques for cultural heritage research.
Role at ANSTO
Environment researchers share expertise
Project focuses on enhancing crop productivity in Asia Pacific countries by improving soil and water.
Sharing nuclear forensic expertise to support nuclear security in IAEA program
ANSTO has hosted for the third time the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Practical Introduction to Nuclear Forensics Regional Training Course.
Space research collaboration
ANSTO launches new area of space research in collaboration with the National Centre for Space Studies and the National Institute of Health and Medical research in France.
Japanese scientists collaborate on self-healing ceramics for nuclear reactors
ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.
Successfully navigating the challenges of replacing a component in a nuclear reactor
The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.
Part 2: What does a radiation event cost the aviation industry?
The cost of building radiation-hardness testing into the design and qualification of electronics is typically well under one per cent of a major project’s budget.
User access at the National Deuteration Facility
The National Deuteration Facility offers access to deuterated molecules prepared by both in vivo biodeuteration and chemical deuteration techniques.
Minister announces new detector
Australian-first detector to accelerate cancer research unveiled.
