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.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

Publications and resources from the Powder Diffraction beamline.

Four annual awards in neutron scattering were announced at Australian Neutron Beam Users Group (ANBUG) and AINSE Neutron Scattering Symposium (AANSS) to individuals with strong links to ANSTO

Radiocarbon study provides insight into soil carbon dynamics and effects of agriculture.

Nuclear security experts and officials from Australia’s nuclear agencies have convened at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) headquarters in Vienna, Austria last week for the International Conference on Nuclear Security (ICONS).

ANSTO is working with BAE Systems Maritime Australia, and the University of Wollongong under the auspices of the DMTC Ltd. on the development of multiphysics numerical simulations capable of capturing thermo-physical, thermo-metallurgical and thermo-mechanical processes taking place during welding.

ANSTO has a role in the global monitoring system on behalf of Australia to ensure non-proliferation of weapons and that nuclear technology is only used for peaceful purposes.

His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley visited ANSTO’s Innovation Centre nandin and several facilities including the OPAL multipurpose reactor this week for a tour after learning of the ANSTO-nandin win in the NASA SpaceApps COVID 19 Challenge.

The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.

Since 1962, the United Uranium Scholarship has helped promising young scientists in the field of nuclear energy extend their knowledge and expertise. In 2022, scholarships were awarded to several ANSTO researchers, including Phil Sutton.
