A sparrow with 257 parts weighing more than 29 tonnes arrives safely at ANSTO

ANSTO recognised the contribution of individuals and teams to nuclear science and technology at the 2023 ANSTO Awards Ceremony held on 25 July.

CEO Shaun Jenkinson, Group Executive for Nuclear Science and Technology Andrew Peele and ANSTO NCRIS Facility Directors, Jamie Schulz, Tamim Darwish, Ceri Brenner and Mitra Safavi-Naeini, attended the Parliamentary Reception to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) in June.

CORIS360® GNI images gamma-ray and thermal neutron radiation sources, delivering an unprecedented ability to detect, localise, and identify nuclear materials.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

The start of ANSTO’s research to support the Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) program commenced with the official launch of the program and the departure of two students from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), who are affiliated with ANSTO to Antarctica’s Macquarie Island for six months to collect environmental samples as part of the (SAEF) program.

ANSTO plays a leading role in measuring and characterising fine particles from a range of locations around Australia and internationally.

ANSTO to receive a new grant to continue to fight chronic kidney disease killer in Sri Lanka.

ANSTO's unique capabilities are being used to develop a quick analytical tool to determine the geographic origin of seafood and authenticates quality.

The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.
