Tackling international public health issue

ANSTO facilitating coordinated effort to find the nexus that leads to chronic kidney disease of unknown origin

Window into the cell

Access to a ‘window into the cell’ with University of Wollongong cryogenic electron microscope at ANSTO.

The Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) is a flagship beamline of the Australian Synchrotron built with considerable support from the NHMRC. It is one of only a few of its type, and delivers the world’s widest synchrotron x-ray ‘beam’.

Distinguishing black carbon sources

MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.

Better understanding of light harvesting may benefit agriculture

Using elemental data to combat illegal wildlife trade

This resource guides students through how to interpret and analyse authentic research data, generated during a collaborative project between UNSW, UTS, ANSTO and Taronga Zoo Sydney. The project examines the use of high-resolution x-ray fluorescence as a tool to combat the international illegal wildlife trade (IWT) of short beaked echidnas, which are being removed from the wild and claimed as captive-bred.

Students will:

- examine the adaptations of short beaked echidnas that increase their ability to survive in their environment
- explore the use of technology in contributing to the study and conservation of biodiversity
- construct simple graphs of the provided data using MS Excel, and interpret and analyse these graphs
- investigate how scientific knowledge interacts with social, economic, cultural and ethical issues.

New survey uncovers the crystal building blocks of Saturn’s moon Titan

Researchers from ANSTO and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have uncovered the likely mineral composition of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, revealing a world of exotic organic crystals unlike any found on Earth.

New class of hydrogen conductors for industry

New class of conducting materials found for potential use in next generation fuel cells and other applications.

New study reveals understanding of a basic physical property of charged particles in microgravity

International study has revealed a clustering of charged particles in the microgravity environment of space,with implications for the development of materials and better drugs that depend on the mixing of two or more charged particles.

ANSTO’s experts build new knowledge, drive innovation and support training and development for the safe management of Australia's radioactive waste

ANSTO has almost seventy years of experience in advancing an understanding of the management of spent nuclear fuel and delivering safe and reliable forms for radioactive waste.

Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction

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.
