Cleaning the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Unique opportunity to contribute to the long term conservation of Australia’s most iconic landmark: The Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Students tackle a real-world challenge regarding dissimilar-metal corrosion in a project supported by BlueScope
Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations
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.
Silicon irradiation
ANSTO is one of the world's leading providers of irradiation services for silicon ingots, which are used by the multimillion dollar electronics industry across Europe and Asia. Each year, ANSTO irradiates more than 50 tonnes of silicon.
Environment researchers share expertise
Project focuses on enhancing crop productivity in Asia Pacific countries by improving soil and water.
Dating Aboriginal rock art using mud wasp nests
Radiocarbon dating of mud wasp nests was used as an indirect method of dating the Gwion Gwion style.

Material with molecular trapdoor holds promise for highly selective gas adsorption
An international team led by scientists at City University of Hong Kong has found flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) with one-dimensional channels that acts as a “molecular trapdoor” to selectively adsorb gases, such as carbon dioxide, in response to temperature and pressure changes.
Nuclear science helps prove earliest Aboriginal occupation
ANSTO researchers contribute to study which finds evidence of Aboriginal occupation 65,000 years ago in Northern Australia.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.
New radiocarbon calibration curves for a better dating method
The technique of using radiocarbon to establish the age of artefacts and other samples as well as to provide insights on climate, has just been updated with the publication of the new radiocarbon curves.
