Bianca Shepherd is ANSTO’s Engineering Support Workshop Manager, confidently overseeing the manufacture and fabrication of equipment and specialised parts for critical Australian scientific and landmark infrastructure.
A natural radioactive tool for urban pollution studies
Tracking oxytocin to understand the biological pathways linked to human cognition and behaviour
2019 Shorebirds Competition Summary and Results
From June to August we invited primary schools in Greater Sydney/Illawarra and Melbourne to participate in our 2019 Shorebirds Competition. Students in Years 3 to 6 were asked to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia.
Lightning reshapes rock at atomic level
Neutron Reflectometry Instrument Scientist
Role at ANSTO
Principal Consultant
Bob Ring is a Principal Consultant within ANSTO's minerals area.
THz - Far Infrared
The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.
ANSTO and UNSW scientists unlock Australia’s bushfire history using stalagmites
The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.
Call for Proposals
Preclinical imaging
Expertise in the use of PET and SPECT imaging techniques to understand biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. The techniques ae also used to study disease processes and monitor the effects of new therapies
ANSTO Graduate
Raghav completed a double degree in Mechatronics Engineering and Computer Science and is currently working with the Electrical Engineering Team at the Australian Center for Neutron Scattering.
Planetary Materials
Welcome to the home of Planetary Materials research at ANSTO.
Nuclear and ionising radiation detection and dosimetry
Our services include the use of techniques to develop innovative radiation detector technology, such as performing alpha spectroscopy to characterise charge collection capability and radiation transport simulation. We also have expertise in measuring the electrical characteristics of novel detectors and semiconductor devices.
Group Executive Nuclear Science and Technology
Andrew Peele was appointed Group Executive for ANSTO Nuclear Science and Technology in July 2021 and was Director of the Australian Synchrotron from 2013 -2021. He is an adjunct Professor of Physics at La Trobe University.
Air pollution from combustion processes in Newcastle
Combustion reactions in vehicles, household woodfires and coal-fired power plants all result in fine particle air pollution in the air we breathe. ANSTO has been measuring and characterising fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia for more than 30 years. This data set provides records from 1998 to 2019 of the concentration of 12 elements present in fine airborne particulate matter from an air sampling station located in Mayfield in Newcastle, NSW.
Personalised cancer therapy
Research collaboration with University of Sydney focuses on a personalised approach to cancer treatment.
