Virtual activities celebrating the benefits of nuclear science and technology held for National Science Week

A 'Challenge-Based Innovation' platform at the nandin Innovation Centre is progressing as part of a funding package from the NSW Government and a Memorandum of Understanding with Swinburne University of Technology and Design Factory Melbourne (DFM).

ANSTO has contributed to research on a novel therapeutic option for combatting antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, known as superbugs.

Both the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering  and the National Deuteration Facility share in grants

The new targeted treatment for aggressive prostate cancer, which include lutetium produced at ANSTO, has shown to produce more potent and durable responses in men and with fewer side-effects.

ANSTO has been using Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) techniques to analyse fine particle pollution samples collected from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.

This scholarship recognises outstanding ability and promise in the field of nuclear science and technology, specifically as it applies to nuclear energy. Successful applicants will demonstrate a history of interest in nuclear energy and a desire to continue this interest.

Growing list of publications is linked to reliability of the instrument and reactor operation allied with a maturing using community.

Building a stable tower out of paper and designing a bionic limb were among the challenges of the Discover Engineering day, held on 11 May at ANSTO.

ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose research reactor at Lucas Heights has officially returned to power and recommenced operations, following a months-long planned shutdown to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades.

Research is being undertaken through an Australian Research Council Discovery Project "Reconstructing Australia’s fire history from cave stalagmites", led by Professor Andy Baker at UNSW Sydney and Dr. Pauline Treble at ANSTO. The project aims to calibrate the fire-speleothem relationship and develop coupled fire and climate records for the last millennium in southwest Australia.

Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.
