ANSTO to ensure ultra-low radiation environment in newly-funded Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.

ANSTO is temporarily housing 12 tonnes of an important chemical for the SABRE Dark Matter Detector as part of the Dark Matter project.

Radiocarbon dating capabilities at the Centre for Accelerator Science have provided evidence of a 17,300-year old painting of a kangaroo from the Kimberley region.

The new Micro Computed Tomography (MCT) beamline is the first instrument to become operational as part of the $94 million Project BRIGHT program, which will see the completion of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron.

Moving earth in the search for dark matter: laboratory construction underway at mine site.

The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.

Radiocarbon measurements at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science have supported research published that provided insights into what the environment was like for the Aboriginal artists who created rock art over intervals spanning 43,000 years.

ANSTO as a leading science research organization in Australia is committed to the ethical, humane and responsible care of animals used for scientific purposes.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.

New facility will greatly enhance Australia’s capability in stress engineering for industry
