Materials researchers focus on development, performance and in-service degradation of nickel-based superalloys, reinforced carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC).

International interest is building in Australia’s new multi-million-dollar radioactive waste processing facility at the Sydney campus of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).

Australian researchers and clinicians have recently returned from Japan where they investigated the use of advanced radiation therapy for cancer using heavy ions at particle therapy facilities on a study tour .

Collaborative research predicted the distortion and performance of metal parts made by laser deposition.

ANSTO is a partner on the National Space Qualification Network (NSQN) led by the Australian National University (ANU) that will transform Australia into a world-leading space centre by enhancing facilities to test payloads, components, and hardware prior to their use in harsh environments of space.

ANSTO has contributed to research that  indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies,  allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last  ca. 65,000 years.
