Koala is one of the leading small-molecule crystallography instruments in the world for determining the complex crystal structure of a wide range of chemicals and minerals.

ANSTO has hosted its second IAEA Practical Introduction to Nuclear Forensics Regional Training Course for representatives of member countries from South-East Asia, sharing expertise on the theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear forensics to respond to incidents of nuclear or other radioactive material out of regulatory control.

Grant supports development of handheld technology to verify origin of seafood.

Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).

ANSTO has been granted a patent in Australia and a number of European countries for the separation, a key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing, actinium-227, from process liquors used in minerals extraction.

On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.

Radioactive phosphorous for implantable medical device to treat pancreatic cancer in global clinical trial

ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.

New oxygen ion conducting material for use in solid oxide fuel cells and other devices

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) has elected Professor Andrew Peele, Director of ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron, to become a Fellow of the prestigious organisation.

Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.
