ANSTO contributes to new international project to improve how the world assesses the economic viability of Small Modular Reactors

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

In early February, ANSTO was honoured to host the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) National Liaison Officers Meeting and Sub Regional Approach to the Pacific Islands (SAPI) Programme, which focused on the development and delivery of the IAEA Technical Cooperation Programme in the Pacific.

Australia is supporting a new regional initiative led by Fiji in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology for Asia and the Pacific (RCA) to strengthen food security across Asia and the Pacific using nuclear science and technology.

Evidence for existence of a highly exotic and elusive state of matter, known as a magnetic ‘spin nematic’ phase in a natural mineral called linarite.

An investigation that set out to resolve some of the uncertainty in the sources and quantities of pollutants reaching Antarctica has produced a new experimental technique to identify and characterise recently terrestrially-influenced air reaching Antarctica.

Stable, highly conductive 2D nanosheets of boron nitride promising new material.

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.

Macromolecular crystallography helps determine the atomic structure.

ANSTO scientists have been featured in the new issue of Careers with STEM Science, a publication produced for high school students, undergraduates and grads, careers advisors, teachers and parents to discover careers and study paths.

This scholarship recognises outstanding ability and promise in the field of nuclear science and technology, specifically as it applies to nuclear energy. Successful applicants will demonstrate a history of interest in nuclear energy and a desire to continue this interest.

ANSTO is seeking nominations for the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal.

Biodeuteration involves the growth of microorganisms in a heavy water (deuterium oxide) culture medium supplemented with either a deuterated or hydrogenated carbon substrate, depending on the level of deuteration required. The biomass is harvested and the deuterated molecule (e.g. protein) is purified and characterised.

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.
