ANSTO researchers contribute to study which finds evidence of Aboriginal occupation 65,000 years ago in Northern Australia.

University of Melbourne researchers have investigated a method to produce magnetic nanoparticles in Australia for use in COVID-19 PCR tests.

ANSTO highlighted its food origin research with live shows and an expert panel discussion to showcase Australian science in the Australia Pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka from 8-10 October.

Prof Lyndon Edwards recognised for for excellent sustained contribution to materials engineering

ANSTO commenced an aerosol sampling program thirty years ago this week to characterise these pollutants and ultimately, identify their sources, which has taken it to the forefront of environmental monitoring of this type in Australia and the region.

Detailed molecular structure of silver nanocrystals determined

A dedicated team of radiation specialists from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) are behind the successful detection and rapid retrieval of a missing radioactive source in outback Western Australia.

The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.

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.

Atmosphere scientists find link between indigenous weather knowledge and Sydney air pollution.

Collaboration finds that old carbon reservoirs are unlikely to cause a massive greenhouse gas release in a warming world.

An investigation that set out to resolve some of the uncertainty in the sources and quantities of pollutants reaching Antarctica has produced a new experimental technique to identify and characterise recently terrestrially-influenced air reaching Antarctica.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

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.
