Detailed molecular structure of silver nanocrystals determined

There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.

The Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope reveals the inner workings of life at the cellular level.

Radiation testing of electronic components at ANTO could benefit the aviation industry, regulators and most importantly, passengers as solar radiation events increase.

INVAP, the Argentinian advanced nuclear technology company, who designed and constructed the Open Pool Lightwater Reactor (OPAL) for ANSTO to replace the HIFAR reactor is celebrating 50 years of operations with the visit of a group of INVAP executives to ANSTO to celebrate their achievements and discuss future collaborations.

Collaboration finds that old carbon reservoirs are unlikely to cause a massive greenhouse gas release in a warming world.

The Australian Government recently signed a landmark emissions reduction technology deal with Great Britain, which includes nuclear energy and clean hydrogen among the six key low emission technologies the two countries hope to advance.

Stage 1 of the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory was officially opened today. It will be home to multi-disciplinary scientists from five research partners who help us understand dark matter.

Griffith University researchers are conducting an experiment at ANSTO that will test a revolutionary physics theory that time reversal symmetry-breaking by neutrinos might cause a time dilation at the quantum scale.

ANSTO's education team located in the Discovery Centre offers a wide variety of learning resources and engaging content that aligns with the NSW curriculum, as well as offering the general public insights into science, ingenuity and sustainability.

Offered to girls in Years 5, 6 and 7, the STEAM Club encourages creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through the Arts (the A in STEAM).

Deaf Youth Science Camp is back for 2026! Deaf Youth Science Camp (DYSC) is a fun 4-day immersive science experience for Deaf/hard-of-hearing young people (aged 12-17 years old). Held at ANSTO at Lucas Heights, Sydney, the camp is a mix of hands-on science activities, outdoor activities and excursions to nearby science centres. Participants will work with Deaf professionals to learn about careers in STEM, develop personal and leadership skills and meet new friends. This camp is hosted by Deaf Youth Australia and ANSTO, and funded by a National Science Week grant.

ANSTO’s Dr Joanne Lackenby and Dr Katie Sizeland have been selected 2018 Superstars of STEM as some of Australia’s most inspiring scientists, technologists and educators.
