ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.

Project focuses on enhancing crop productivity in Asia Pacific countries by improving soil and water.

ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.

Updated results show radiation therapy using lutetium-177 improved survival in advanced prostate cancer.

Modelling and experimentation - a powerful combination in probing mechanical properties of ion irradiated materials through nanoindentation.

The Platypus instrument can be used to study all-manner of surface-science and interface problems, particularly related to magnetic recording materials and for polymer coatings, biosensors and artificial biological membranes.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

In Australia and the Southeast Asia basin, the ANSTO facility offers a wide range of unique nuclear-beam techniques for cultural heritage research.

Deuteration and nuclear techniques can contribute to the science of beauty.
