ANSTO contributes to major study on global warming by measuring methane and carbon monoxide trapped in ice.

A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

A rare collection of traditional Aboriginal wooden objects in varying degrees of preservation found along a dry creek bed in South Australia have been dated to a period spanning 1650 to 1830 at the Centre for Accelerator Science at ANSTO.

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

A unique scientific capability comprising a single research platform for high-fidelity simulation, real-time dosimetry, and biological response data is available all from a neutron instrument.

Stage 1 of the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory was officially opened today. It will be home to multi-disciplinary scientists from five research partners who help us understand dark matter.

Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.

ANSTO environmental scientists contribute to investigation of carbon capture in wetlands.

With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.

In January 2026, Mr Michael Quigley AM, ANSTO Board Chair, shared ANSTO's Statement of Intent with the Minister for Industry and Innovation, and Minister for Science.

Using isotopes to understand saltwater intrusion of Rottnest Island groundwater

New material shows enhanced conductivity for solid oxide fuel cells used in satellites, spacecraft, transport vehicles and as power source

Researchers developing new materials and devices that can withstand the harsh radiation environment in space are using the unique ANSTO’s capability to simulate the effects of high-energy ion irradiation on the properties and performance of these materials and devices.

Dr Inna Karatchevtseva, who collaborates with DMTC, was among those identified by The Australian in its Research magazine as a national leader in her field of ceramic engineering

ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

ANSTO groundwater experts have collaborated with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment on a comprehensive survey of groundwater resources in the state.
