Australian Synchrotron to join consortium mapping the human brain

Consortium will map the 86 billion nerve cells, 100 trillion connections and neurotransmitters in the human brain.

Nuclear science helps prove earliest Aboriginal occupation

ANSTO researchers contribute to study which finds evidence of Aboriginal occupation 65,000 years ago in Northern Australia.

Certificate of appreciation from WA DFES

ANSTO and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have been recognised for their valuable contributions to the search and recovery efforts for a missing 8mm-long radioactive capsule in the Western Australian outback.

Synchrotron leader shines bright, becoming a Fellow of ATSE

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) has elected Professor Andrew Peele, Director of ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron, to become a Fellow of the prestigious organisation.

Medium Energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline (MEX-1 and MEX-2)

The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.

Immune system's friendly fire can turn malaria deadly

Australian researchers reveal how the immune system’s ‘friendly fire’ can turn malaria deadly

TSPO: Ancient gene ignites potential for drug development

Using the power of artificial intelligence to help detect disease

An international collaboration led by The University of Sydney and supported by ANSTO has developed an advanced, innovative artificial intelligence application that could be used to help examine tissue samples and identify signs of disease/

Mitigation and Optimisation of Radiation Responses

This program explores the mechanism and outcome of the interaction of radiation on biological systems in order to improve our understanding of the impact of radiation on the brain, optimise radiotherapy and develop mitigation strategies for space travellers.

Optoelectronic industry to benefit from cheap new chemical production process

ANSTO Staff gear up for Sutherland2Surf

Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials

The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.

Research

Health researchers at ANSTO use world-class nuclear and isotopic techniques to undertake research and development activities to address some of the most challenging health problems.

ANSTO and University of Wollongong team up to sort sci-fi from sci-fact

High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline (MX3)

The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.
