Do you love science? Here is a competition for you that combines chemistry and creativity! Discover the world of elements and create a poster for your favourite element in this new competition for school aged students.

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

You are invited to submit to the various awards from ANSTO, User Advisory Committee (UAC) and Australian Neutron Beam User Group (ANBUG). 

Research is undertaken to characterise and optimise the beneficial impacts of radiation on living matter

The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.

ANSTO Big Ideas encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.

The new facility will be built around a product line of ANSTO’s design – a new Technetium-99m generator – that will enable greater process automation than is possible with existing technology, leading to improvements in efficiency, quality and importantly the highest levels of production safety.

The 2025 Deaf Youth Science Camp is a chance for Deaf/hard-of-hearing young people (aged 12-17 years old) to participate in an immersive science experience. At the camp, participants will do hands-on science activities, go on tours of different science facilities, and meet Deaf STEM professionals. The camp is also an opportunity to develop personal and leadership skills as well as enhance friendship networks.

ANSTO's Melbourne location is home to the ANSTO-owned and operated Australian Synchrotron. The Synchrotron is one of the Australia's most significant pieces of scientific infrastructure.

Advanced imaging technique used to study triggers that lead to tree death

Small modular reactors can be built using Generation IV reactor technologies, that old the promise of considerably higher efficiency for decarbonised energy production and industrial heat co-generation.

The Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub (the Hub) unites the expertise of top Federal science agencies: ANSTO, Geoscience Australia, and CSIRO with the aim of addressing technical challenges and drive collaborative research across the critical minerals value chain.
