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.

The workshop will offer a comprehensive introduction to the latest scientific analytical tools which are exclusively offered across the facilities under the operation of ANSTO, including neutron, synchrotron and accelerator based techniques.

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

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.

This program uses ANSTO’s nuclear capabilities to identify, quantify, and monitor the mechanisms which cause, or influence the development and progression of chronic diseases.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.

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.

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

Materials researcher with a passion for chemistry, Matthew Teusner is investigating lithium sulfur materials to support the next step in cleaner battery power.

Advanced X-ray techniques have revealed new structural details about the specific arrangement of atoms in conjugated polymers, an important class of materials that are used in LEDs, organic solar cells, transistors, sensors and thermoelectric power devices.

Designed for those working predominantly with unsealed radioactive sources, typically in a research, radiopharmaceutical or hospital environment. ANSTO is a recognised leader in radiation safety training, delivering industry and regulator-approved courses including S8, S10, S12 & S36.

Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported research that vastly extends the known timeline of the Aboriginal occupation of South Australia’s Riverland region.
