Blue Carbon Horizons Team showed coastal wetlands capture more carbon as sea levels rise

Fifteen neutron beam instruments are either operational or being commissioned at the new OPAL reactor. ANSTO expects to add more instruments in future. Other instruments and a suite of sample-environment equipment allows studies at different temperatures, pressures and magnetic fields.  Scientific references are available for most instruments.

The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.

Over the past 70 years ANSTO has been building Australia’s nuclear expertise and despite being small in scale, today we are complex and sophisticated nuclear nation.

Groundwater experts from ANSTO and UNSW have led a collaboration of Australian and American researchers to analyse the composition of deep, very old groundwater and develop a new conceptual framework that describes the degradation of carbon over time in the subsurface.

Radiocarbon measurements at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science have supported research published that provided insights into what the environment was like for the Aboriginal artists who created rock art over intervals spanning 43,000 years.

ANSTO will participate in a New Zealand Marsden project which will search for chemical clues linked to the origins of life on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. 

ANSTO is Australia’s nuclear centre of excellence. It has a mandated role to advise the Australian Government on all nuclear and science technology matters.

ANSTO operates a range of cobalt-60 gamma irradiators, providing the Australian community with a range of irradiation services for medical, health, industry, agriculture and research purposes.

The Food Materials Science project applies nuclear-based techniques to investigate fundamental and industrial problems of national significance in food science, including food processing and product development. ingredient selection, food, and health

ANSTO provides the Australian and international community with services that improve human health, support industry and protect the environment.

International palaeontologists have used advanced imaging techniques at ANSTO’S Australian Synchrotron to clarify the role that the earliest fruit-eating birds of the Cretaceous period may have had in helping fruit-producing plants to evolve.

ANSTO's Minerals team provides consultancy, process development and research services to the mining and minerals processing industries.
