The science of fireworks
There is chemistry at work to help us enjoy the New Year's Eve celebration.
Materials in extreme environments
Materials researchers focus on development, performance and in-service degradation of nickel-based superalloys, reinforced carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC).
Materials in extreme environments
Material researchers at ANSTO use a range of in-house capabilities in the development, testing and characterisation of existing and emerging materials for extreme environments of the novel nuclear (fission/fusion) based energy-generation systems.
Air Quality
Research to detect and measure air pollution, the composition the atmosphere and mixing in the atmosphere.
Nanostructure explains the behaviour of molecules with liquid-like properties
ANSTO has supported research led by a University of Sydney team who gained insights into how oil molecules retain their ‘liquid-like’ properties when they are chemically attached as an extremely thin layer to solid surfaces.
Synchrotron reveals an elusive molecular chameleon
Triggers of tree mortality revealed
Advanced imaging technique used to study triggers that lead to tree death
A closer look at the scientific power of nuclear and accelerator techniques
In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.
Unique immune system of the alpaca being used in COVID-19 research
Scientists from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) are using the unique immune system of the alpaca and techniques at the Australian Synchrotron as part of research using antibodies to disrupt COVID-19 viral entry into cells.
Graduate profile - Monica Hibberd & Hamish McDougall
Monica Hibberd and Hamish McDougall are working together on research into greener and more efficient energy and battery technology.
Radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis contribute to Antarctic research
Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.
Evidence of earliest Aboriginal occupation of Australian coast
Evidence of the earliest occupation of the coasts of Australia from Barrow Island, Northwest Australia.
Australia's nuclear agency welcomes 2015/16 budget
Highlights - Energy Materials
Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.
First fully analysed data sets from BILBY
Particle Induced Gamma Ray Emission
Particle induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) is typically run in conjunction with PIXE and RBS and is used to quantify concentrations of elements such as lithium, fluorine, sodium, magnesium and aluminium.
Radioactive capsule goes missing in Australian outback
A tiny 8mm by 6mm radioactive capsule went missing in January 2023, somewhere along a 1400 kilometre journey from Rio Tinto’s Gudai-Darri iron ore mine to its final destination in Perth, Western Australia. Find out how ANSTO's CORIS360® technology identified the exact location of the missing source.
Certificate of appreciation from WA DFES
ANSTO and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have been recognised for their valuable contributions to the search and recovery efforts for a missing 8mm-long radioactive capsule in the Western Australian outback.
Sample mountings
Our sample mountings include: sample changers, selecting a cell, and sample position sticks.
