The Centre for Accelerator Science provides complementary capabilities to Synchrotron-based and the neutron-based research with the operation of four accelerators, associated beamlines, clean laboratories and in-house expertise in ion beam analysis (IBA) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).

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.

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.

ANSTO Head of Research Dr Suzanne Hollins has been appointed to chair IAEA group on nuclear applications.

Enhancing safety of trailer trucks among research projects

Using neutron imaging techniques at ANSTO, researchers from Macquarie University have gained a better understanding of how corrosion forms and spreads through concrete that is commonly used in sewer pipes.

New research published a team from the Imperial College London, University of Glasgow and ANSTO suggests that rock coasts, which make up over half the world’s coastlines, could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise.

A large collaboration of European investigators gained insights into how the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein) impacts  with lipid metabolism in the body with implications for COVID-19 infection and mRNA vaccination.
