New oxygen ion conducting material for use in solid oxide fuel cells and other devices
The history of ANSTO began 70 years ago with the Atomic Energy Act 1953
Study confirms fraudulent Kakadu plum product is in the international marketplace jeopardising authentic Indigenous products
Research confirms that fraudulent Kakadu plum extracts are in circulation online and in the international marketplace.
End of an era for Australia’s first nuclear reactor
How climate change is erasing the world’s oldest rock art
Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

Synchrotron techniques reveal amount of carbon captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone
A collaboration of Australian scientists has used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron to measure the amount of carbon that is captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone, which acts as a carbon sink.
Leveraging over half a century of knowledge in the safe management of radioactive waste
ANSTO's Chief Nuclear Officer shares insights on the safe management of Australia's nuclear waste.
Role at ANSTO
Using nuclear techniques to track micronutrients applied to wheat crops
Researchers from Murdoch University and associated collaborators are using ANSTO’s unique nuclear capabilities to gain detailed information about how wheat crops take in administered micronutrients to maximise their efficient use.
Pip is a passionate creative who is obsessed with applying design thinking to any and every project she can get her hands on, no matter the topic.
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.
Nuclear techniques confirm rare finding that crocodile devoured a baby dinosaur
Research explains how some plants evolved to depend on fire for survival
Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.
Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
