Melbourne researchers have used the Australian Synchrotron to produce structure of molecule known to play a critical role in the development and spread of aggressive cancer.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

Combined imaging approach characterises plaques associated with disease.

Study helps make carbon dating a more accurate chronological tool.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

ANSTO shared expertise on next-generation reactors and nuclear power with sustainable energy experts at the Australian Academy of Science symposium in May.

Research confirms that methylcellulose, one of the most widely used hydrogel-forming materials in biomedical research and consumer products, organises itself into a structural architecture

A site for the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility has been acquired, with the new facility to be built near the town of Kimba on the South Australian Eyre Peninsula. 

An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.

Technology for enclosed spaces recently won global COVID19 NASA hackathon

ANSTO Big Ideas encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.

Australian and Taiwanese scientists have discovered a new molecule which puts the science community one step closer to solving one of the barriers to development of cleaner, greener hydrogen fuel-cells as a viable power source for cars.

ANSTO has produced a comprehensive report for the NSW Department of Planning and Environment that represents a significant scientific investigation of the connections, pathways and processes of water loss from the Thirlmere Lakes system.

The celebration of the UN’s International Women’s Day 2023 has a theme that highlights the power of innovative IT to combat discrimination and the marginalisation of women globally.

Atomic structure of new cathode material for sodium ion batteries helps explain long life

With more than thirty years of expertise and experience in critical minerals and rare earths extraction and processing, ANSTO welcomes the Australian Government’s announcement of a 2022 Critical Minerals Strategy

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