Study helps make carbon dating a more accurate chronological tool.

Outstanding individuals and teams have been recognised for their outstanding work, innovation, excellence in the 2025 ANSTO Awards. 

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

Insights into the formation of deep river canyons mountain ranges in intra-tectonic plate areas by SAAFE Scholarship recipient and collaborators.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

Atmosphere scientists find link between indigenous weather knowledge and Sydney air pollution.

The University of Newcastle and UNSW [GW1] are using advanced neutron scattering techniques at ANSTO to carry out research on the structure of polymers in complex salt environments that will ultimately provide a way to predict their behaviour for real-world applications.

ANSTO and the University of Wollongong are jointly operating a unique laboratory able to extract carbon-14 (radiocarbon) atoms out of a rock that is attracting global interest as a new tool to better understand recent changes in Earth’s climate system and rates of landscape change over the past 20, 000 years.
