Poster prize for one of our students at AOCNS2015
Nuclear remote online Laboratory (FarLabs)
Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FarLabs) have developed a nuclear remote online laboratory that schools can use to perform experiments with nuclear radiation. Two experiments allow students to investigate the penetrating power of different forms of radiation and how the amount of radiation decreases with distance.
The FarLabs project is led by the Department of Physics at La Trobe University in collaboration with James Cook University, Curtin University, Quantum Victoria, V3 Alliance, and ANSTO.
ANSTO welcomes revitalised National Science and Research Priorities and National Science Statement
(ANSTO) has welcomed the launch of the new National Science Statement and revitalised National Science and Research Priorities by Minister for Industry and Science, The Hon Ed Husic MP and Australia’s Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley AO PSM.
Nuclear facts
Nuclear science is applied by ANSTO's scientists in many areas that are vital to Australia's future, including agriculture, industry and manufacturing, minerals construction, health and environment. Our work in the development and applications and new knowledge and skills arises from world-class experience in nuclear science and technologies.
Groundwater science
Water is a resource that needs careful management to ensure it is used sustainably. In this data set, students analyse real research data about the sustainability of groundwater on Rottnest Island.
Students will:
- understand the concepts of groundwater and aquifers and the role of the water cycle
- use MS Excel to construct simple graphs (or draw graphs by hand)
- interpret and analyse graphs and other representations of data
- investigate the effects of a changing climate on groundwater resources
- distinguish between correlation and causation
Advanced refrigeration technology on the horizon
Atomic mechanism produces colossal cooling effect in new class of materials .
Gamma radiation imaging technology
A new imaging technology developed at ANSTO makes it possible to image, identify and locate gamma-ray radiation in a safe and timely manner.
Research highlights the importance of the Murray Darling Basin for Australia’s waterbirds
An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.
