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

Bushfires in proximity to ANSTO during the 2018 bushfires.

The shutdown of a nuclear reactor can be done manually by an operator following a well-established operating procedure.

Research has demonstrated that internally generated neutrons could be used to effectively target micro-infiltrates and cancer cells outside of the defined treatment regions.

An investment that will secure the long term sustainability of nuclear medicine supply in Australia.

Research demonstrates the existence of hexagonal planar geometry in a transition metal complex with great potential application across multiple disciplines.

Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) is used principally as a method for measuring hydrogen in thin layers, and in the near-surface region of materials.

Useful in some mineral processes but a major problem in others, jarosite may be the key to unlocking the geological history and environmental context of water on Mars.

Progress on a more environmentally-friendly production method for hydrogen peroxide.

A revised model has been developed that can more accurately predict the actual service life of an industrial component.

Measurement research undertaken to ensure safe, well-engineered nanoparticles

Neutron scattering helps clarify the arrangement of magnetic vortices, skyrmions, in material

Understanding of the role that programmed cell death has in development.

On this page you will find useful information about applying for a position at ANSTO and some tips on how you can prepare for an interview. 

The unique magnetic properties and nontrivial quantum effects were observed and measured in an advanced material with potential application for quantum computing.

As blood breaks down in the skin tissue, the colour of a bruise changes with time. As such, it may be used to find out information about the age of the bruise and hence a timeframe of when the incident that caused the mark took place.

For over 45 years, ANSTO has provided consultancy and process development services to the mining and minerals processing industries in Australia and globally.

ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus has an extensive range of specialised facilities and capabilities that are available to assist industry-based professionals in solving problems. Please contact us to discuss how we can assist you. We are open to entering into commercial arrangement with appropriate partners.

Australia’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to achieve a range of  activities to benefit human health, enable research to support a more sustainable environment and provide innovative solutions for industry.
