Research explains how some plants evolved to depend on fire for survival
Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.
Move over Curiosity Rover: New LEGO model of nuclear instrument
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
Pyrochlore transformation of defect fluorite?
Mathematical insights explain inconsistencies in experimental data: pyrochlore transformation into defect fluorite or not?
Dynamic real-time video captures how surfaces are modified by nuclear techniques
Patented technology removes key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing
ANSTO has been granted a patent in Australia and a number of European countries for the separation, a key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing, actinium-227, from process liquors used in minerals extraction.
Improving the radiation tolerance of microelectronics for space
A team of Melbourne researchers and international partners from Italian Instituto Nazionale de Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and CERN, who are developing radiation-hardened semiconductor chips, used the unique state-of-art high energy ion microprobe on the SIRIUS ion accelerator at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science to test a prototype radiation-resistant computer chip
ITRAX scanning on cores from Macquarie Island
Research reveals that strong westerly winds weaken the Southern Ocean’s ability to store carbon and thereby contribute to faster accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Infrared microspectroscopy
The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.
