The physics and chemistry used at ANSTO is built upon, in significant part, by pioneering female scientists who were sidelined, expelled, or simply not credited appropriately for their achievements.

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

The International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP) is administered by the Australian Synchrotron and is designed to assist Australian-based synchrotron users to access overseas synchrotron related facilities.

The Panel Pledge aims to increase the visibility and contribution of women and diverse leaders in public and professional forums.

The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is a major research facility for neutron science that comprises a suite of neutron instruments with a range of techniques for scientific investigations in physics, chemistry, materials science, medicine and environmental science among other fields.

Successful synthesis of nano-material that improves catalytic converter efficiency.

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.

The Australian Synchrotron provides funding support for successful beamtime applicants in the form of travel funding and/or onsite accommodation. Travel funds granted are to be used solely to cover the majority of the cost to travel to the AS facility. The User Office will book accommodation for interstate user groups at the onsite AS Guesthouse.

Recent catastrophic Australian bushfires produced extremely high levels of fine particle pollution.

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) are pleased to present this year's invited speakers.

Using isotopes to understand saltwater intrusion of Rottnest Island groundwater

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.

Collaboration across the Tasman has enabled Australian and New Zealand researchers and scientists to shed light on a protein involved in diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, gastric cancer and melanoma.

Monash University, University of Queensland and Australian National University researchers have used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron in their study of meteorites found on Earth that could be used in future to find evidence of life on the planet Mars.
