Researchers developing new materials and devices that can withstand the harsh radiation environment in space are using the unique ANSTO’s capability to simulate the effects of high-energy ion irradiation on the properties and performance of these materials and devices.
A pioneering study led by Professor Junpei Yamanaka of Nagoya City University and an international team that included ANSTO has delivered transformative insights into the behaviour of colloidal particles under microgravity.
Peter Kabokov will continue work that will contribute to defence industry
Designed to address the new 2026 NSW Science Stage 4 (Year 7-8) syllabus, this tour is a hands-on introduction to atomic structure, the properties and classification of some elements, and the structure of the periodic table.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Please print enough copies of the relevant workbook for your class before your visit to ANSTO.
Our Year 12 Physics tour and depth study guide can be used as the starting point for a depth study about nuclear science, covering nuclear-related components of Module 8: From the Universe to the Atom.

Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FarLabs) have developed a nuclear remote online laboratory that schools can use to perform experiments with nuclear radiation. Two experiments allow students to investigate the penetrating power of different forms of radiation and how the amount of radiation decreases with distance.
The FarLabs project is led by the Department of Physics at La Trobe University in collaboration with James Cook University, Curtin University, Quantum Victoria, V3 Alliance, and ANSTO.
In 2023 ANSTO produced its 2nd Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan to guide reconciliation actions.
Our Year 12 Investigating Science tour and depth study guide can be used as the starting point for a depth study about nuclear science, covering nuclear-related components of Module 6: Technologies and Module 8: Science and Society.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Please print enough copies of the relevant workbook for your class before your visit to ANSTO.
A large collaboration of European investigators gained insights into how the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein) impacts with lipid metabolism in the body with implications for COVID-19 infection and mRNA vaccination.
This science week ANSTO is releasing a new way for students across Australia to learn about the periodic table of elements with augmented reality (AR). ANSTO's Free AR experience unlocks the periodic table to reveal a world of protons, neutrons and electrons and illustrates how useful they are to science and industry in the 21st century.
