Role at ANSTO
Minerals
ANSTO's Minerals team provides consultancy, process development and research services to the mining and minerals processing industries.
High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline (MX3)
The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.
Australia amongst the world's best in the international nuclear arena
On the international stage amongst the leading nuclear nations of the world, Australians hold its own. This status has been earned by ANSTO’s seventy-year history of safe nuclear operations, the application of nuclear science and technology to benefit society and nuclear stewardship role in Australia.
Scholarship applications open
Applications are now being accepted for the Industry foundations Scholarship.
ANSTO recognises scientific achievement, leadership, external collaboration and outreach at Awards event

Innovative radioactive waste treatment technology forging ahead
International interest is building in Australia’s new multi-million-dollar radioactive waste processing facility at the Sydney campus of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).
Radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis contribute to Antarctic research
Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.
Advanced materials research in microgravity earns NASA recognition
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.
Bacteria-driven remediation of iron ore tailings
Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.
What is radiation?
Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.
Development of radioisotopes
Research and development activity explores new, boutique radioisotopes, including positron, gamma and beta/gamma emitter. The aim is to provide material for the next generation of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals
