German ambassador visits to see a ‘sparrow’ being assembled.

Australia’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to achieve a range of  activities to benefit human health, enable research to support a more sustainable environment and provide innovative solutions for industry.

The physics and chemistry used at ANSTO is built upon, in significant part, by pioneering female scientists who were sidelined, expelled, or simply not credited appropriately for their achievements.

ANSTO is interested finding students to collaborate on Generation IV reactor systems.

This week marks 20 years since ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose reactor first achieved criticality - a defining moment for Australian nuclear science and the beginning of two decades of discoveries, medical advances and industrial innovation delivered from ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus.

The instrument is ideally suited to study of spin and lattice dynamics, magnon and phonon dispersion relations in single crystal samples.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

Highlighting the contribution of four inspirational ANSTO leaders on International Women's Day.

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.

A new study has shown that, rather than being discarded, plastics can be transformed into valuable carbon nanomaterials that help solve both energy and environmental challenges.

New high energy ion microprobe beamline supports space research on the effects of radiation on astronauts.

Publications and resources from the Powder Diffraction beamline.

Stage 1 of the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory was officially opened today. It will be home to multi-disciplinary scientists from five research partners who help us understand dark matter.

ANSTO is part of a contingent showcasing Australian science at the Australian Pavilion at the World Expo Osaka in October.
