Research explores how structure contributes to function in food

The Think Science! event encourages students to engage with the Science Inquiry Skills process as outlined in the Australian National Curriculum.

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.

Young researcher accepted into the Australian Antarctic Science Program.

ANSTO’s OPAL multi-purpose research reactor at Lucas Heights has officially returned to power and recommenced operations, following a months-long planned shutdown to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades.

ANSTO Nuclear Fuel Cycle researcher recognised for contributions to crystallography and structural chemistry on actinides and lanthanides.

Earlier this month, ANSTO welcomed a delegation of Elders from the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage site to its Lucas Heights campus. The visit marked a significant collaboration between Traditional Custodians and scientists working to uncover the environmental history of Lake Mungo.

Although Australia does not use nuclear energy for power needs, it does have the nuclear capabilities, knowledge, and expertise provided by ANSTO to ensure the national interest in nuclear matters is protected and advanced.

Scientists from UNSW and ANSTO have characterised the structure of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonites, and nitrides (MXenes) materials, that could be used as a lightweight fire-retardant filler and in energy storage devices.

International fusion researchers, including  ANSTO’s Dr Richard Garrett, have recently returned from ITER in France where they attended a meeting of the coordinating committee of the International Tokomak Physics Activity (ITPA).
