This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.

An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought  greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.

A large group of ANSTO environmental scientists and collaborators have produced the first groundwater stable isotopes, ‘isoscapes’, intuitive maps with grid data, across NSW combining new and pre-existing isotope measurements.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.

The first demonstration of reversible symmetry lowering phase transformation with heating.

ANSTO shared expertise on next-generation reactors and nuclear power with sustainable energy experts at the Australian Academy of Science symposium in May.

Study explored how key proteins manage dietary cholesterol absorption and elucidated crucial transport mechanisms that contribute to cholesterol balance in the body.

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.
