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. 

Osteoporosis is a major public health issue, and it has been estimated that total annual cost of osteoporosis/osteopenia in Australia is around $2,754 million.

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

The sap extracted from Sugar Maple trees, is used to produce maple syrup. There are many conflicting theories and an absence of experimental evidence, regarding the mechanisms involved in maple sap exudation.

The Australian Synchrotron is a source of powerful X-rays and infrared radiation that can be used for a wide range of scientific and technical purposes. Synchrotron X-rays are millions of times brighter than those produced by conventional X-ray machines in laboratories and hospitals.

Using the theory of compressed sensing technology, a team of physicists and scientists invented and developed the CORIS360® platform imaging technology. Compressed sensing imaging can generate an image with far fewer samples compared with traditional imaging techniques.

There has been an increasing pressure on construction industrial sector to utilise innovative materials that not only meet the requirements of ambitious architectural designs, but also reduce CO2 emissions.

The growth and incorporation of graphene into semiconductor device architectures has been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to grow it on suitable substrates.

ANSTO joined the Australian delegation at the 68th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month in Vienna, participating in a number of insightful side-events and fruitful bilateral partnership meetings.

ANSTO is an experienced provider of Teacher Professional Development for Australian and International teachers and our courses cover a wide range of topics. Hear from expert speakers, receive new education resources, and develop lessons for your own class.

Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science provided strong evidence that some culturally significant trees on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) have persisted for up to more than 500 years
