Three ANSTO scientists are contributing to two recently awarded Australian Research Council Discovery Project grants.

Go behind the scenes at ANSTO with one of our community tours and see the landmark facilities our scientists use to improve our health, understand our environment, and develop new solutions for industry.

Collaborators on the Magnetism project.

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission (µPIXE) is used to construct elemental maps that show variations of an element's concentration across the sample surface.

Given the importance of water in Australia, surprisingly, there is relatively little information about the past variability of rainfall on this continent. Although there is a good annual record of the past 100 years in Australia, there is nothing much before that period and no known cave deposit records exist for New South Wales.

Moving earth in the search for dark matter: laboratory construction underway at mine site.

ANSTO is coordinating and facilitating a new cycle of Australian project proposals for the Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA).

Two startups supported by the nandin Innovation Centre at ANSTO have hit the ground running in 2021 securing major opportunities from state governments to see their businesses thrive.
