The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

It is critical across many industries to identify and locate sources of radiation accurately and quickly. One of the more challenging aspects of dealing with radiation is that you cannot see it directly, which can result in potential exposure when working in those environments.

ANSTO is helping change the way science is taught in the classroom - converting that dusty old periodic table into an augmented reality app that brings the elements to life.

A 'Challenge-Based Innovation' platform at the nandin Innovation Centre is progressing as part of a funding package from the NSW Government and a Memorandum of Understanding with Swinburne University of Technology and Design Factory Melbourne (DFM).

Airbus Australia Pacific has provided students participating in ANSTO’s National Graduate Innovation Forum with a practical challenge relating to technology that is exposed to damaging radiation in space.

ANSTO renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) operated by the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK) and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Now broadened to include their partner Comprehensive Research Organization for Science and Society (CROSS), the signing took place early in the year and a celebratory workshop was held late July.

ANSTO proudly contributes to measures that recognise all aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage during NAIDOC Week and all year.

Using the Australian Synchrotron, an international team of researchers has characterised an important interaction that helps the SARS-CoV-2 virus invade human cells.

ANSTO is expanding its global connections, with the nandin Innovation Centre joining an international network created to increase cross industry collaboration and co-creation.

Researchers from the University of New South Wales have developed a new type of rechargeable battery that uses protons as charge carriers, offering a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries.

January 2021 saw the arrival of four shipping containers of radiation safety hutch panels for the first new Bright beamline, Micro-Computed Tomography (MCT). Installation commenced shortly thereafter with the manufacturer, Caratelli SAS, working in conjunction with Victorian-based company, Lycopodium Limited.
