Think Science! 2023 Summary and Results
Statement of Intent
In January 2026, Mr Michael Quigley AM, ANSTO Board Chair, shared ANSTO's Statement of Intent with the Minister for Industry and Innovation, and Minister for Science.
Highlights - Cultural Heritage
Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
ANSTO recognises the contribution of staff for outstanding work, innovation, and excellence
ANSTO announces the recipients of the 2022 organisational awards
Director of the new Environment Research and Technology Group
Role at ANSTO
Dr Karina Meredith was appointed Director of the new Research and Technology Group for Environment effective 15 January 2024.
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
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.

Medium Energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline (MEX-1 and MEX-2)
The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.
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.
Advanced Diffraction & Scattering Beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The Advanced Diffraction and Scattering beamlines (ADS-1 and ADS-2) are two independently operating, experimentally flexible beamlines that will use high-energy X-ray diffraction and imaging to characterise the structures of new materials and minerals.
Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)
The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.
High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline (MX3)
The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.
Samples - Infrared microspectroscopy
The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline
