Restoring soil carbon can bring benefits for agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation.

Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported new archaeological research conducted by Flinders University and the University of Queensland that describes significant earth mound features used for cooking that were created by Aboriginal people in the Riverland region of South Australia.

Research has helped build a record of rainfall during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, and shed light on the strategies of Indigenous Australians to cope with a changing landscape.

Principal Technical Consultant Michael Druce shares some personal insights on the design and construction of ANSTO's nuclear medicine facility.

ANSTO’s radioanalytical facilities are recognised internationally and have extensive experience in the measurement of radioactivity from a wide variety of matrices. Our primary radoianalytical techniques include gamma spectrometry and alpha spectrometry.

Our temperature sample environments include closed cycle refrigerators, cryofurnaces, cryostates, furnaces, rapid thermal devices, temperature baths and low temperature inserts.

The health impacts of exposure to poor levels of air quality resulting from bushfires and drought recommended that NSW Government work with ANSTO to expand the sampling of particulate matter in the air state-wide.

Synchrotron light is the electromagnetic radiation emitted when electrons, moving at velocities close to the speed of light, are forced to change direction under the action of a magnetic field.

Dr Angus Cowan has been presented with the Stephen Wilkins Medal, which is awarded annually to a PhD student who completed an outstanding thesis based on work at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron.

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) has elected Professor Andrew Peele, Director of ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron, to become a Fellow of the prestigious organisation.

An international team has published research in Nature today that identified the oldest known mummified remains of an exceptionally well-preserved terrestrial vertebrate, a 289-million-year-old reptile Captorhinus.

Successful synthesis of nano-material that improves catalytic converter efficiency.

A selection of research highlights, instrument news and technical developments for scientists.

A tiny 8mm by 6mm radioactive capsule went missing in January 2023, somewhere along a 1400 kilometre journey from Rio Tinto’s Gudai-Darri iron ore mine to its final destination in Perth, Western Australia. Find out how ANSTO's CORIS360® technology identified the exact location of the missing source.

Materials researcher with a passion for chemistry, Matthew Teusner is investigating lithium sulfur materials to support the next step in cleaner battery power.
