50 Year Anniversary of Moon Landing
On 20 July 1969, humans landed on the moon for the very first time. As Neil Armstrong was lowered onto the surface of the moon he made the now infamous statement, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.
Black carbon detection technology launched commercially
The Multi-wavelength absorption black carbon instrument (MABI), a technology designed and built at ANSTO to measure black carbon in the atmosphere is now commercially available from Thomson Environmental Systems.

Scientists untangle the challenging complexities of radiocarbon in ice cores
Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.
Understanding pollutants impact
Research highlights how biodistribution of a toxic substance essential to understand all exposure risks.
