We are part of the Planetary Science community in Australia

ANSTO and the User Meeting 2024 organising committee celebrate this years award recipients. 

Discover the amazing world of nuclear science from your classroom. Join us for Meet an Expert, Nuclear Science Inquiry Skills, Junior Science, and Online Depth Study sessions for Chemistry, Physics and Investigating Science.

At ANSTO we have a large range of facilities that can be used to investigate planetary materials.

Radiocarbon dating is a well-known method for determining the age of materials up to the age of approximately 50,000 years.

New mentor program offers deep brains trust to support the development of southern Sydney startups

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.

Using PET and simulations to verify the accuracy of dose and range in advanced therapy with heavy ions

Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers. 

ANSTO contributes to major study on global warming by measuring methane and carbon monoxide trapped in ice.

Nuclear techniques will be crucial tools in the development of advanced materials that sustainably convert waste heat into useful forms of energy to benefit Australia.

A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.

Research provides insights into Tasmania’s Lake Vera more than 800 years ago

ANSTO will be participating in a new Industrial Transformation Training Centre established and funded by the Australia Research Council to advance the use of bioactive ingredients in Australia.

Biodeuteration involves the growth of microorganisms in a heavy water (deuterium oxide) culture medium supplemented with either a deuterated or hydrogenated carbon substrate, depending on the level of deuteration required. The biomass is harvested and the deuterated molecule (e.g. protein) is purified and characterised.

New screening method developed to confirm if deuteration improves metabolic stability.
