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.

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.

A new publication The First Inventors, captures the story of how Indigenous knowledge shaped the Australian continent has been published. Based on the SBS and Channel 10 TV series, The First Inventors, it takes readers on a journey through 65,000 years of innovation, diplomacy and design.

This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.

Charcoal particles from recent bushfires in NSW were carried 50 kilometres by the wind, which has significance for fire history reconstruction.

One of ANSTO’s most accomplished scientists and internationally recognised energy researchers, Prof Vanessa Peterson, has been awarded the Nancy Millis Medal for Woman in Science by the Australian Academy of Science this week.

Accurate low level tritiated water (HTO) data is an essential tool for groundwater dating and understanding groundwater recharge processes. 

Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.

Australian researchers and clinicians have recently returned from Japan where they investigated the use of advanced radiation therapy for cancer using heavy ions at particle therapy facilities on a study tour .

The cost of building radiation-hardness testing into the design and qualification of electronics is typically well under one per cent of a major project’s budget.

Australia is supporting a new regional initiative led by Fiji in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology for Asia and the Pacific (RCA) to strengthen food security across Asia and the Pacific using nuclear science and technology.

Shorebirds Competition 2021 results.

It's ANSTO's role to keep Australia across the very latest developments in nuclear science and technology from around the world. Part of this responsibility is keeping us abreast of the latest developments in nuclear power technologies.
