Guide to successful proposals and experiments at the Powder Diffraction beamline.

A new study has found that forest expansion and thickening after British colonisation has created landscapes more prone to burning, amplifying the influence of climate change and propelling Australia’s bushfire crisis.

New high energy ion microprobe beamline supports space research on the effects of radiation on astronauts.

Explore ANSTO's range of publications and reports available for the public.

ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.

Using nuclear techniques to help sustain Australia's finite groundwater resources

Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

The mechanical, electrical, chemical, optical and thermal properties of glass, as determined by its chemical composition and atomic structure, make it a highly useful material with a myriad of applications.

ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) are pleased to present this year's invited speakers.

A panel discussion was held at Lucas Heights that explored the legacy and future of OPAL, Australia’s world‑class research reactor, and its role in shaping national and global scientific capability.

ANSTO officially thanked the Sir William Tyree Foundation for its support in acquiring the HIFAR reactor control room as an educational resource in the Discovery Centre.
