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.

ANSTO has a variety of games and apps to educate students on how radiation works, nuclear medicine, the periodic table, and atom building.

ANSTO's National Science Week Hackathon - STEM mentors 2023

Research is being undertaken through an Australian Research Council Discovery Project "Reconstructing Australia’s fire history from cave stalagmites", led by Professor Andy Baker at UNSW Sydney and Dr. Pauline Treble at ANSTO. The project aims to calibrate the fire-speleothem relationship and develop coupled fire and climate records for the last millennium in southwest Australia.

New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.

Using the theory of compressed sensing technology, a team of physicists and scientists invented and developed the CORIS360® platform imaging technology. Compressed sensing imaging can generate an image with far fewer samples compared with traditional imaging techniques.
