Think Science! 2025 Summary and results

ANSTO’s Radioanalytical Chemistry (RAC) facility combines techniques in radiochemistry and radiological measurement by alpha spectrometry, gamma-ray spectrometry, and liquid scintillation analysis to deliver radiological assessments.

There is an extensive range of equipment, glassware and instrumentation available for use in the laboratories.

If you have someone to buy for who loves gifts that “give back” or prefers gifts that are interesting and thought-provoking–look no further.

ANSTO is now accepting applications for three Director positions within the Nuclear Science and Technology group: The Director of the Nuclear Materials Research and Technology Group, Director of Environment Research and Technology Group and Director of the Health Research and Technology Group.

A pioneering study led by Professor Junpei Yamanaka of Nagoya City University and an international team that included ANSTO has delivered transformative insights into the behaviour of colloidal particles under microgravity.

Frequently asked questions about ANSTO for the community.

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.

ANSTO provides access to specialised facilities and capabilities by application. Please ensure that you contact the relevant ANSTO scientist for advice before submitting a proposal.

Go behind the scenes at ANSTO with one of our community tours and see the landmark facilities our scientists use to improve our health, understand our environment, and develop new solutions for industry.

ANSTO can confirm it has completed its 9th successful export of spent fuel. The spent fuel, from OPAL, ANSTO’s multipurpose reactor, has gone to France for reprocessing.

Wombat is a high intensity neutron diffractometer that  is primarily used as a high-speed powder diffractometer, but has also expanded into texture characterisation and single-crystal measurement, particularly diffuse scattering.  

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.
