STEAM Club for Girls
Offered to girls in Years 5, 6 and 7, the STEAM Club encourages creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through the Arts (the A in STEAM).
Identification and analysis of components in bruises
As blood breaks down in the skin tissue, the colour of a bruise changes with time. As such, it may be used to find out information about the age of the bruise and hence a timeframe of when the incident that caused the mark took place.
Stopping yellow spot fungus that attacks wheat crops
Collaborators used X-ray imaging to understand the fine detail of how a damaging fungal pathogen reduces leaf function and grain yield of wheat crops.
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.
Understanding radiation damage at the atomic scale
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.
Monash scientist earns Stephen Wilkins PhD Thesis Medal for innovative brain imaging
Dr Linda Croton, a Research Fellow at Monash University, has been awarded the 2020 ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis medal for her outstanding work using synchrotron-based X-ray for brain imaging.
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.
