Running (simulated) rings around cancer
Ultra-realistic simulations of a PET imaging system for next-generation radiotherapy: Collaboration giving back to the open source science community.
Trash to treasure with 3D printing breakthrough
New technology is being developed in Sydney to recycle used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and turn it into raw materials for 3D printing.
Work Health and Safety
ANSTO operates Work Health and Safety and Environmental Management Systems designed to ensure the safety of its employees, partners and members of the public to minimise the impact of our activities on the environment.
Nuclear and ionising radiation detection and dosimetry
Our services include the use of techniques to develop innovative radiation detector technology, such as performing alpha spectroscopy to characterise charge collection capability and radiation transport simulation. We also have expertise in measuring the electrical characteristics of novel detectors and semiconductor devices.
Quantum sensing exploits the most counterintuitive properties of quantum systems
Devices that use quantum sensors take advantage of quantum properties, unlike conventional instruments that apply classical physics in their operation.
Stopping yellow spot fungus that attacks wheat crops
Collaborators used X-ray imaging to understand the fine detail of how a damaging fungal pathogen reduces leaf function and grain yield of wheat crops.

Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations
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.
