ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

The 2025 Deaf Youth Science Camp is a chance for Deaf/hard-of-hearing young people (aged 12-17 years old) to participate in an immersive science experience. At the camp, participants will do hands-on science activities, go on tours of different science facilities, and meet Deaf STEM professionals. The camp is also an opportunity to develop personal and leadership skills as well as enhance friendship networks.

ANSTO is seeking nominations for the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal.

ANSTO is seeking nominations for the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal.

Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

ANSTO recognises the traditional indigenous owners of the land at all its sites and works to contribute to the recognition of the indigenous cultural heritage of Australia.

ANSTO operates a range of cobalt-60 gamma irradiators, providing the Australian community with a range of irradiation services for medical, health, industry, agriculture and research purposes.

The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

The growth and incorporation of graphene into semiconductor device architectures has been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to grow it on suitable substrates.

Most fingermark research has largely focussed on the organic material in residues. Consequently, a gap in fundamental knowledge exists when it comes to inorganic components such as metals.

Accelerator Operators operate the synchrotron and its subsystems 24 hours a day, six days a week, and maintain very high beam availability for facility users.

ANSTO's Melbourne location is home to the ANSTO-owned and operated Australian Synchrotron. The Synchrotron is one of the Australia's most significant pieces of scientific infrastructure.

Nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) is a promising material for future biological and electrochemical applications.

Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.

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).

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.
