Cosmogenic field trip in the Top End

Determining the extent of soil erosion on a NSW vineyard

ANSTO welcomes progress on national radioactive waste management facility

Bushfires can generate hazardous chromium in soil

Bushfires heat soil to extreme temperatures and this causes oxidation of chromium to a highly toxic and carcinogenic form.

70 years of scientific excellence has brought significant benefits to Australia

ANSTO is a unique national science organisation that began operating under its predecessor The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) 70 years ago.

Researcher awarded Young Innovator scholarship

Peter Kabokov will continue work that will contribute to defence industry

Going underground to understand Australia's past climate variability

Given the importance of water in Australia, surprisingly, there is relatively little information about the past variability of rainfall on this continent. Although there is a good annual record of the past 100 years in Australia, there is nothing much before that period and no known cave deposit records exist for New South Wales.

Statement of Expectations

On the 9th of December 2022, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.

Australia's radioactivity measurement centre officially opened

IAEA Deputy Director General includes ANSTO stops on Australian Tour

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.

Nuclear research techniques are an important tool for environmental scientists to understand past climates and anticipate the future

ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.
