Our dedicated mineralogists provide specialised knowledge on the mineralogy of ores/concentrates and the wide variety of solids and residues typically generated in hydromet processes. We have well-equipped facilities that can handle a diverse range of samples, particularly those containing elevated concentrations of uranium and thorium.

ANSTO Analytical Facility conducts a range of analyses required to support our commercial projects, and can analyse everything from simple samples to complex matrices not typically dealt with by standard commercial laboratories.

Osteoporosis is a major public health issue, and it has been estimated that total annual cost of osteoporosis/osteopenia in Australia is around $2,754 million.

This program uses ANSTO’s nuclear capabilities to identify, quantify, and monitor the mechanisms which cause, or influence the development and progression of chronic diseases.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.

Dr Rezwanul Haque, now a senior lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, received a national Young Scientist Award for his earlier research using nuclear techniques at ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering to find cracks and signs of stress in riveted joints in sheet metal in car bodies.

Today Dr Jenine McCutcheon from the University of Queensland’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences has been recognised for her outstanding research with the Australian Synchrotron's Stephen Wilkins Medal.
