Combining scientific expertise with more than $1.3 billion in unique operational assets to provide optimal radioactive waste solutions.

Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers. 

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.

Researchers and industry partners from UNSW Australia, the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine, Children’s Cancer Institute and Inventia Life Sciences Pty Ltd have been awarded the 2021 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology for their method to rapidly-produce 3D cell structures

Dr Ceri Brenner appointed new leader of the Centre for Accelerator Science 

ANSTO facilitating coordinated effort to find the nexus that leads to chronic kidney disease of unknown origin

ANSTO contributes to new international project to improve how the world assesses the economic viability of Small Modular Reactors

Restoring soil carbon can bring benefits for agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation.

ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.

An unusual and very exciting form of carbon - that can be created by drawing on paper - looks to hold the key to real-time, high throughput DNA sequencing, a technique that would revolutionise medical research and testing.

Research to detect and measure air pollution, the composition the atmosphere and mixing in the atmosphere.

Research to improve knowledge of natural variability in rainfall and recharge by monitoring hydrological processes in key regions and reconstruct water recharge history.

Research on lunar meteorite and moon crater analogues coincides with Science Week.

ANSTO’s Radioanalytical Chemistry (RAC) facility combines techniques in radiochemistry and radiological measurement by alpha spectrometry, gamma-ray spectrometry, and liquid scintillation analysis to deliver radiological assessments.

ANSTO is participating in a new Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) to be headquartered at James Cook University (JCU) that aims to bring Indigenous and environmental histories to the forefront of land and sea management.
