Modifications to promising novel non-fullerene small molecule acceptor in organic thin film for solar cells demonstrates improved power conversion efficiency.

Combining scientific expertise with more than $1.3 billion in unique operational assets to provide optimal radioactive waste solutions.

Exploring the interaction of polystyrene nanoplastics and blood plasma proteins.

ANSTO waste management services meet regulatory requirements and international best practice standards.

ANSTO is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities and to implementing strategies which have a positive effect on the environment. The ANSTO Work Health Safety and Executive Committee oversees this process.

Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.

On the 10th of October 2025, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.

A research team from RMIT University in Melbourne and MIT in the US has taken an important step towards making mRNA vaccines easier to distribute, store and administer as patches. They used the Small-Angle and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron, to reveal critical insights into the behaviour of vaccine nanoparticles during drying and rehydration. 

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

Energy researchers from UNSW have reported progress using controlled architectural design and structural engineering as a method to fine-tune materials to have simultaneous high power and high energy density for the electrochemical storage in portable devices.

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.

Investigators from UNSW and ANSTO have provided insights into the dynamic interactions of atoms in a promising material for sodium-ion batteries.

Experiments undertaken at the Australian Synchrotron have allowed research teams from Monash University and La Trobe University to clarify fundamental aspects of T-cell activation crucial to the body’s immune response to disease.

A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.
