Scandium 47, a therapeutic radioisotope and potential theranostic, has been produced for the first time at ANSTO. Theranostics are used to both diagnose and treat disease.

Research makes it possible to assess if and how rocky coasts, which make up the majority of the world’s coasts including Australia and New Zealand, will respond to changes in marine conditions.

Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.

Highlights on the Water Isotope Network project.

Dharawal educator Fran Bodkin has spent a good part of her eighty plus years, studying or sharing information about the therapeutic and nutritional properties of traditional indigenous plants and wildlife.

International palaeontologists have used advanced imaging techniques at ANSTO’S Australian Synchrotron to clarify the role that the earliest fruit-eating birds of the Cretaceous period may have had in helping fruit-producing plants to evolve.

ANSTO offers accelerator-based particle-induced gamma-ray emission techniques to determine total fluorine concentration in a range of solid materials and rapidly screen for the presence of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

ANSTO Synroc® is constructing an Australian radioactive waste treatment facility for the by-products of Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) production.

ANSTO has put together a robust multidisciplinary approach to understanding the impacts of nanomaterials, investigating a common food additive, E171 titanium dioxide, used primarily as a colouring agent in everyday foods. 

ANSTO is supporting the introduction of particle therapy, an advanced form of radiation treatment for difficult-to-treat cancers, in Australia

Our dedicated mineralogists provide specialised knowledge on the mineralogy of ores/concentrates and the wide variety of solids and residues typically generated in hydromet processes. We have well-equipped facilities that can handle a diverse range of samples, particularly those containing elevated concentrations of uranium and thorium.
