An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.

ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has been working on an initiative that could substantially improve radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients. 

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.

A large international team led by scientists from the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials at the University of Wollongong has verified that the introduction of  novel molecular orbital interactions can improve the structural stability of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

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.

Environmental scientists at ANSTO will contribute to major Antarctic research project in Antarctica funded by the Australian Research Council.

A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.

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

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

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

ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.

ANSTO provides a summary of waste production and consumables for FY2022 - FY2023

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.

In a world-first study, Australian environmental scientists have used cave stalagmites as a record of groundwater replenishment over time, that showed the current level of rainfall recharging groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years.
