From June to August we invited primary schools in Greater Sydney/Illawarra and Melbourne to participate in our 2019 Shorebirds Competition. Students in Years 3 to 6 were asked to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia.
ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.
Director of the Australian Synchrotron Prof Andrew Peele has been appointed to Australian Mathematical Sciences Board.
Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.
Agreement extends Taiwan’s National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center’s operation of neutron scattering instrument at ANSTO
Two approaches use existing low cost and low energy technologies to reuse stockpiled waste from mining operations - capturing carbon dioxide in the form of valuable carbonate minerals.
Early research at ANSTO has contributed to development of innovative submicron particle encapsulation technology.
Students learn about life in the ocean and the features and behaviours needed for living near the surface and in the deep sea. The properties of seawater are also considered, as well as human impacts. Incorporates an enjoyable playground game and choice of hands-on STEM activity.
An opportunity to take an unforgettable journey and explore ANSTO science virtually at the atomic scale for National #scienceweek
In this half-day incursion, we uncover the surprising science of the Moon and look at past and future lunar missions. Students are guided through two hands-on STEM activities and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
Students are introduced to shorebirds and their wetland habitats. They encounter the incredible journeys of our migratory shorebirds and how they connect wetlands in a fun playground game. Students also participate in a hands-on adaptations activity and learn about environmental research conducted at ANSTO.
The Shorebirds competition aims to raise awareness of the plight of endangered shorebirds and local habitat that are important for shorebirds and other organisms.
Ion beam analysis techniques can be used for trace element analysis and the surface characterisation of diverse materials.
ANSTO in consultation with partners has developed a specialised training course to support first responder agencies in ensuring personnel are effectively prepared for response to radiological and nuclear emergency situations.
