In collaboration with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the French International Space Agency (CNES), ANSTO scientists are undertaking research on the radiobiological effects of secondary particles that are created when radiation interacts with the shielding on the International Space Station.
Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported new archaeological research conducted by Flinders University and the University of Queensland that describes significant earth mound features used for cooking that were created by Aboriginal people in the Riverland region of South Australia.
ABC has reported space research on plants being sent to the moon at the Centre for Accelerator Science.
ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.
Young researcher accepted into the Australian Antarctic Science Program.
The cost of building radiation-hardness testing into the design and qualification of electronics is typically well under one per cent of a major project’s budget.
Research will change understanding of Australian Aboriginal rock art found in rock shelters of the Kimberley and its relationship to a changing landscape
A groundbreaking international study has provided new insights into global fossil methane emissions, using innovative multi-isotopic atmospheric measurements.
NSW grants bolster additive manufacturing and groundwater processing capabilities.
Using geoarchaeology to reconstruct the history of an ancient Khmer city.
ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.
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.
When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.
The mining industry is set to benefit from a new Australian capability that uses a nuclear scanning technique to detect the presence of precious metals and strategic minerals in a core sample.
The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.
