The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.
Innovative software tool developed at ANSTO used at power stations to help maintain plant components and improve the efficiency of operations.
The Think Science! competition encourages students in Years 3-10 to learn science inquiry skills in a fun and accessible way! Entry is FREE and there are generous prizes for winning schools. Any topic can be chosen, and special materials are not required.
Research collaboration with University of Sydney focuses on a personalised approach to cancer treatment.
Research has demonstrated that internally generated neutrons could be used to effectively target micro-infiltrates and cancer cells outside of the defined treatment regions.
Mathematical insights explain inconsistencies in experimental data: pyrochlore transformation into defect fluorite or not?
With the screening of the popular HBO series about Chernobyl, we asked our Nuclear Analysis team for their insights on key differences between the reactor in the TV series, a Generation II RBMK power reactor and ANSTO’s state of the art research reactor OPAL.
The Australian Synchrotron has an on-site Guesthouse for users and AS guests.
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.
Researchers and industry partners from UNSW Australia, the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine, Children’s Cancer Institute and Inventia Life Sciences Pty Ltd have been awarded the 2021 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology for their method to rapidly-produce 3D cell structures
ANSTO scientists share approach on the global stage at the IAEA General Conference.
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.
A large team of international researchers have used synchrotron techniques to understand how key proteins contribute to the virulence of the rabies virus, sometimes called the “zombie virus.”
Research makes it possible to assess if and how rocky coasts, which make up the majority of the world’s coasts including Australia and New Zealand, will respond to changes in marine conditions.
The release of the Oppenheimer film, the story of the director of the Manhattan Project, has prompted many people to go online and search for an explanation of the difference between fission and fusion, two fundamental scientific concepts.
