Understanding of micro-structure gained using X-ray scattering and spectroscopy.

Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.

One of ANSTO’s most accomplished scientists and internationally recognised energy researchers, Prof Vanessa Peterson, has been awarded the Nancy Millis Medal for Woman in Science by the Australian Academy of Science this week.

Wombat is a high intensity neutron diffractometer that  is primarily used as a high-speed powder diffractometer, but has also expanded into texture characterisation and single-crystal measurement, particularly diffuse scattering.  

This month, ANSTO hosted a delegation from the International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) as part of the IPNDV’s Plenary meeting in Sydney. The meeting marked the first time Australia has hosted the IPNDV.

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.

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.

ANSTO seeks candidates who are passionate about making a contribution to Australian society through supporting nuclear science and technology.

ANSTO's education team located in the Discovery Centre offers a wide variety of learning resources and engaging content that aligns with the NSW curriculum, as well as offering the general public insights into science, ingenuity and sustainability.

The Accelerator Science group purse a broad research program with the aims of improving the performance and reliability of our accelerators, increasing their research capabilities and developing the next generation of accelerator technology.

Principal Research Scientist Andrew Smith is travelling to the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica with American collaborators on a 3-year National Science Foundation project now in its final year that involves mining tonnes of ice for palaeoclimate research.

ANSTO is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities and to implementing strategies which have a positive effect on the environment. The ANSTO Work Health Safety and Executive Committee oversees this process.

Dr Angus Cowan has been presented with the Stephen Wilkins Medal, which is awarded annually to a PhD student who completed an outstanding thesis based on work at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron.

ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.

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. 

Investigators have verified and quantified the relationship between the Earth’s land biosphere and changes in temperature and provided evidence that temperature impacts the cycling of carbon between land, ocean and the atmosphere.
