At ACNS we currently have 13 instruments in our user program, which use a variety of scattering techniques to probe materials over a range of length scales.

For more than half a century, ANSTO's specialised services have supported the unique requirements of customers working in health, agriculture, defence, mining, nuclear medicine and more.

The Centre for Acclerator Science operates accelerators that can be used for space radiation testing.

ANSTO Synroc technology provides a safe, secure matrix for the immobilisation and final disposal of radioactive waste.

In April 15, 1953, Australia entered the nuclear science arena, when the Atomic Energy Act came into effect. The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) followed and in 1987 the AAEC evolved into the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) as it’s known today.

A high-level strategy for ANSTO to support environmental sustainability

The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.

The Powder Diffraction beamline at the Australian Synchrotron is optimised for carrying out structural investigation under non ambient conditions and as a function of time.

Ultra-flexible electronics has many potential applications within areas such as for example the military, healthcare and energy.

The ANSTO Year In Industry Internship Program is for penultimate year students studying towards relevant scientific and/or engineering degrees.

Hot Isostatic Pressing supports advanced manufacturing by increasing a material's density and reducing porosity. This capability complements ANSTO’s extensive suite of instruments and techniques for characterising materials and final products.

It is critical across many industries to identify and locate sources of radiation accurately and quickly. By accurately imaging radiation across the full energy range, CORIS360™ improves operational decision making across many industry settings.

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.

ANSTO has a variety of games and apps to educate students on how radiation works, nuclear medicine, the periodic table, and atom building.

The OPAL research reactor's design and integrated safety features mean it is extremely safe; a fact confirmed by independent analysis.

With the support of the Sir William Tyree Foundation, ANSTO is offering two career development opportunities for young Indigenous Australians in the area of work, health and safety.

The design and implementation of alternative energy sources is one of the greatest scientific and social challenges of our time.
