Wombat - High-Intensity Powder Diffractometer
Wombat is a high intensity neutron diffractometer that is primarily used as a high-speed powder diffractometer, but has also expanded into texture characterisation and single-crystal measurement, particularly diffuse scattering.
Emu - High-Resolution Backscattering Spectrometer
Theinstrument is typically used to study diffusing water molecules or yet larger molecules like polymers or biological molecules. In addition, Emu can reveal quantum-mechanical tunnelling.
Analysis of fingermarks with synchrotron techniques provide new insights
A new study by researchers from Curtin University using the infrared (IR) and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron has provided a better understanding of the chemical and elemental composition of latent fingermarks.
Nuclear techniques confirm unique biology of human eye lens
Symposium on advanced therapy
Science and medical experts meet in Adelaide to discuss great potential of particle therapy in Australia
Nuclear medicine congress
Congress marks watershed moment for nuclear medicine and ANSTO
TSPO: Ancient gene ignites potential for drug development
Using cosmic ray 'clocks in rocks' to understand climate change
Dale Codling leads a team at ANSTO that is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and security of research facilities capable of handling nuclear and radioactive materials.
Disorder by design to improve material properties of sodium-ion batteries
Successfully navigating the challenges of replacing a component in a nuclear reactor
The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.
Role at ANSTO
High-energy heavy ion microprobe
The high-energy heavy-ion microprobe is used for the characterisation or modification of material properties at depths from approximately 1 micrometre to maximum depths of up to 500 micrometres from the material surface.
Hamish is a Chartered Engineer (CEng, MIChemE) with plenty of experience of the pharmaceutical industry and fresh experience in nuclear medicine having recently joined ANSTO.
Role at ANSTO
New survey uncovers the crystal building blocks of Saturn’s moon Titan
Researchers from ANSTO and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have uncovered the likely mineral composition of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, revealing a world of exotic organic crystals unlike any found on Earth.
Submissions to nuclear inquiries
ANSTO has made two public submissions to parliamentary inquiries with another to be submitted in February 2020 on matters relating to nuclear technologies, their peaceful applications, and the nuclear fuel cycle.
PIXE
Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.
Single session radiation therapy nearing a reality
ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has been working on an initiative that could substantially improve radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients.
