Rutherford backscattering primarily provides information about the concentration of elements VS depth in a light material.

ANSTO is participating in a new Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) to be headquartered at James Cook University (JCU) that aims to bring Indigenous and environmental histories to the forefront of land and sea management.

New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.

Your efforts are helping better manage our wetlands and waterways, and protect the precious wetland birds that rely on them.

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.

University of Melbourne researchers have investigated a method to produce magnetic nanoparticles in Australia for use in COVID-19 PCR tests.

ANSTO is part of collaboration conducting experiments to redefine the kilogram linking it to a fundamental constant of nature.

Doping with transition metals produced stability in bismuth oxide.

Recent catastrophic Australian bushfires produced extremely high levels of fine particle pollution.

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.

Devices that use quantum sensors take advantage of quantum properties, unlike conventional instruments that apply classical physics in their operation.
