A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.

Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.

Scientists from Monash, ANSTo and China have developed an ultra-thin membrane that could separate harmful ions from water or capture gases.

Insights into the formation of deep river canyons mountain ranges in intra-tectonic plate areas by SAAFE Scholarship recipient and collaborators.

ANSTO health researchers have contributed to an international study published in Nature Neuroscience that sheds light on the mechanism by which anti-anxiety drugs act on the brain which could lead to cognitive impairment in vulnerable individuals.

ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has been working on an initiative that could substantially improve radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients. 

Dr Andrew Smith has just finished collecting ice cores and snow samples on the summit of Law Dome in Antarctica,

The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.

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

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.

ANSTO's reactor utilisation team has received an international award.
