ABC has reported space research on plants being sent to the moon at the Centre for Accelerator Science.

ANSTO is a unique national science organisation that began operating under its predecessor The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) 70 years ago.

Australian-first detector to accelerate cancer research unveiled.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

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 .

A new systematic investigation of the origins of atomic structural distortions in compounds containing uranium has relevance for spent nuclear fuel .

The samples preparation facilities include state-of-the-art chemistry laboratories and other specialist supporting areas

Using isotopes to understand saltwater intrusion of Rottnest Island groundwater

Dr Jessica Hamilton, a beamline scientist at the Australian Synchrotron, has won the Falling Walls Lab competition hosted by the Australian Academy of Science for her 3 minute presentation on a novel approach to using mining waste for carbon dioxide capture and a source of carbonate minerals. The event is held to deliver solutions to some of the most promising challenges of our time.

ANSTO is coordinating and facilitating a new cycle of Australian project proposals for the Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA).
