ANSTO’s Radioanalytical Chemistry (RAC) facility combines techniques in radiochemistry and radiological measurement by alpha spectrometry, gamma-ray spectrometry, and liquid scintillation analysis to deliver radiological assessments.

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission (µPIXE) is used to construct elemental maps that show variations of an element's concentration across the sample surface.

Insights into the formation of deep river canyons mountain ranges in intra-tectonic plate areas by SAAFE Scholarship recipient and collaborators.

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.

Doping with transition metals produced stability in bismuth oxide.

The winners of the 2018 ANSTO Top Coder Competition were decided at two keenly contested grand finals with Robotics hosted by UTS and Coding held at the ANSTO Discovery Centre.

3D models of multilayered structures on engineering scale from nanoscale damage profiles.

A research team from ETH Zurich developing and characterizing silicon carbide devices for power electronics, recently spent time at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science to use a specialised beamline in their investigations.

Planetary science is an emerging research theme in Australia, and research at ANSTO is embedded in the heart of this.

International research led by Curtin University and supported by ANSTO, has identified and studied the first sauropod dinosaur gut contents found anywhere in the world. The stomach content was preserved with a reasonably complete skeleton of the Australian Cretaceous species Diamantinasaurus matildae found in Winton Queensland.

An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.

ANSTO has produced a comprehensive report for the NSW Department of Planning and Environment that represents a significant scientific investigation of the connections, pathways and processes of water loss from the Thirlmere Lakes system.
