Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

Currently ANSTO partners with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to operate the Australian GNIP stations with samples analysed at ANSTO’s Environmental Isotope Laboratories in Sydney.

Ancient groundwater in Australia contributing carbon to food webs through surface water.

Researchers and industry partners from UNSW Australia, the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine, Children’s Cancer Institute and Inventia Life Sciences Pty Ltd have been awarded the 2021 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology for their method to rapidly-produce 3D cell structures

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

Use of nuclear techniques to benefit industry and consumers

Researchers from the University of Wollongong have improved a high voltage cathode material to deliver structural stability and an unprecedented electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in work that is extendable to other types of energy storage materials.

Using geoarchaeology to reconstruct the history of an ancient Khmer city.

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.

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.

Dr Ceri Brenner appointed new leader of the Centre for Accelerator Science 

The Australian Government’s nuclear agency, ANSTO, together with NSW Police and multiple state and federal authorities, has completed an operation to repatriate radioactive waste from the UK.
