A team of Melbourne researchers and international partners from Italian Instituto Nazionale de Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and CERN, who are developing radiation-hardened semiconductor chips, used the unique state-of-art high energy ion microprobe on the SIRIUS ion accelerator at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science to test a prototype radiation-resistant computer chip

Radiation testing of electronic components at ANTO could benefit the aviation industry, regulators and most importantly, passengers as solar radiation events increase.

ANSTO is working with government partners to ensure that radioactivity in drinking water supplied to Aboriginal communities is at levels considered safe for consumption.

State- of-the-art microdosimeters used in research

Exploring the interaction of polystyrene nanoplastics and blood plasma proteins.

ANSTO conducts and enables research to address some of Australia’s and the world’s most challenging environmental problems.

An international team led by scientists at City University of Hong Kong has found flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) with one-dimensional channels that acts as a “molecular trapdoor” to selectively adsorb gases, such as carbon dioxide, in response to temperature and pressure changes.

ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.

Using isotopes to understand saltwater intrusion of Rottnest Island groundwater

ANSTO continues a longstanding, mutually-beneficial research relationship with the University of Wollongong following the signing of a strategic agreement this week.
