Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials
The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.
Nuclear science helps prove earliest Aboriginal occupation
ANSTO researchers contribute to study which finds evidence of Aboriginal occupation 65,000 years ago in Northern Australia.
ANSTO taking part in international coastal pollution studies
Medium Energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline (MEX-1 and MEX-2)
The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.
What are radioisotopes?
Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.

I’m Bhishag, a communication designer, turned to UX and Human-centred designer. I have experienced the design industry for over 7 years, from freelancing, interaction design and print media publication.
Bring the Periodic Table to life with Augmented Reality
This science week ANSTO is releasing a new way for students across Australia to learn about the periodic table of elements with augmented reality (AR). ANSTO's Free AR experience unlocks the periodic table to reveal a world of protons, neutrons and electrons and illustrates how useful they are to science and industry in the 21st century.
Evidence of spin nematic
Evidence for existence of a highly exotic and elusive state of matter, known as a magnetic ‘spin nematic’ phase in a natural mineral called linarite.
Powerful mathematical calculations guide the startup of a nuclear reactor
The nuclear analysis team at ANSTO recently had a significant role in the re-design and optimisation of a cold neutron source facility for the reactor, its installation and the subsequent restart after a six-month shutdown.
ANSTO and University of Wollongong team up to sort sci-fi from sci-fact
Australian researchers reveal how the immune system’s ‘friendly fire’ can turn malaria deadly
ANSTO scientists would have preferred more about the physics but impressed with Oppenheimer
In part 1 of this two-part series, ANSTO scientists from across the organisation became film critics to review Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Oppenheimer, which explores the life of the director of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic weapon.
