Radiocarbon dating supports Aboriginal occupation of South Australia for 29,000 years
Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported research that vastly extends the known timeline of the Aboriginal occupation of South Australia’s Riverland region.
New Joint Venture to manufacture GMP theranostic radiopharmaceuticals in Australia
Cyclotek and ANSTO have announced the launch of a Joint Venture (JV), to establish Australia’s first GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) theranostics facility starting in Melbourne, Australia.
Part 1: An explanation of the three-body problem featured in science fiction series
Two ANSTO physicist explain the three-body problem as featured in science fiction series of the same name
12,000 year temperature record
A new continuous record of temperature dating back 12,000 years provides an import resource in understanding current and future climate changes,
The women of nuclear stewardship science are experts in the safe use of radioactivity
Meteorites from the red desert of Australia support search for life on the red planet Mars
Monash University, University of Queensland and Australian National University researchers have used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron in their study of meteorites found on Earth that could be used in future to find evidence of life on the planet Mars.
Beamline Proposal & Experiment Guide
Guide to successful proposals and experiments at the Powder Diffraction beamline.

The evolution of molten salt reactors
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.

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.
Fossils go nuclear
Crucial expertise in groundwater benefits Australia
Using nuclear techniques to help sustain Australia's finite groundwater resources
Nuclear research techniques are an important tool for environmental scientists to understand past climates and anticipate the future
ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.

Highlights - Cultural Heritage
Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
Through the looking glass: the strange atomic structure of glassy materials
The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.
Feathery moa’s fossilised footprints, ancient age revealed
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.
