Chronic kidney disease of unknown origin
In 2017, ANSTO's CEO signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sri Lanka to work together to investigate the epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu).
Particle Induced X-ray Emission
Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.
Potential true theranostic agent for cancer produced
Scandium 47, a therapeutic radioisotope and potential theranostic, has been produced for the first time at ANSTO. Theranostics are used to both diagnose and treat disease.
Earthquake clues unearthed in strange, precariously balanced rocks
Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.
The history of ANSTO began 70 years ago with the Atomic Energy Act 1953
Engineering of atomic structure improves a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries
Researchers from the University of Wollongong have improved a high voltage cathode material to deliver structural stability and an unprecedented electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in work that is extendable to other types of energy storage materials.

$12.5 million for new jobs from ANSTO’s Innovation Precinct
The NSW Government will invest $12.5 million to support the expansion of the Innovation Precinct at the Lucas Heights campus of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).
Research explains how some plants evolved to depend on fire for survival
Researchers based at Monash University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have pioneered the use of nuclear imaging techniques at ANSTO’s Centre for Neutron Scattering to resolve long-standing problems in plant evolutionary history linked to wildfires.
Australia is home to one of the world’s best nuclear reactors
Over the past 70 years ANSTO has been building Australia’s nuclear expertise and despite being small in scale, today we are complex and sophisticated nuclear nation.
Early drawings reveal their secrets under x-ray examination
Radiocarbon is a powerful tracer for ocean circulation and climate studies
Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).
