ANSTO is committed to monitoring its environmental performance and providing the community with accurate information about it. We also publish live meteorological data from our 49m Lucas Heights weather tower every 15 minutes.

Researchers use Kitaev theoretical model to explain unusual phenomenon in two-dimensional material.

Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.

Training hosted and delivered by ANSTO on behalf of the IAEA assisted the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) to prepare for the successful management of a recent nuclear forensics operation.

Neutron association award to energy materials researcher Prof Vanessa Peterson.

Collaboration investigates a promising new nanoparticle for potential use in combination with other therapies for brain cancer

Thales Australia, a key supplier to the Australian Defence Forces, provided an industrial challenge to National Graduate Innovation Forum participants relating to the production of piezoelectric ceramic components used in naval sonar arrays and systems.

Study reveals that properties of polycrystalline materials can be derived from microscopic single crystal samples

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission (µPIXE) is used to construct elemental maps that show variations of an element's concentration across the sample surface.

Researchers from UNSW have found an extraordinary material that does expand or contract over an extremely wide temperature range and may be one of the most stable materials known.

Applications, recent results, publications.

The Centre for Acclerator Science operates accelerators that can be used for space radiation testing.

ANSTO has a range of capabilities and expertise to support aerospace and space research.

The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.

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.
