The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.

ANSTO researchers are undertaking the fabrication and characterising advanced fuels and investigating the key properties of nuclear waste and its long-term interaction with containment materials to improve safety for short and long-term storage.

ANSTO’s vision is to deliver excellence in innovation, insight and discovery through our people, partnerships, nuclear expertise and landmark infrastructure. We are committed to investing in our people to achieve this vision.

View these case studies for a more detailed look at industry challenges and how CORIS360® radiation imaging technology is improving operational decision making and keeping workers safe.

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.

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.

In April 15, 1953, Australia entered the nuclear science arena, when the Atomic Energy Act came into effect. The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) followed and in 1987 the AAEC evolved into the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) as it’s known today.

Within the bulk structure of such glasses, boron is known to be a key actor, as it exhibits intriguing and composition-dependent changes in coordination state that often drive properties.

ANSTO addresses key scientific questions in the nuclear fuel cycle for both the current generation of nuclear reactors and future systems.
