Every two years the IYNC bring delegates together to discuss various themes within the nuclear industry - this year's being Diversity in Nuclear.

Radioisotopes

Using the OPAL multipurpose reactor,, ANSTO can provide a diverse suite of radioisotopes for research and applications

First light achieved for new micro-computed tomography beamline under Project BRIGHT

Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.

12,000 year temperature record

A new continuous record of temperature dating back 12,000 years provides an import resource in understanding current and future climate changes,

Robotics hub to improve management of Australian infrastructure and assets

ANSTO participation in ARC on Intelligent Robotic Systems for Real-time Asset Management has potential benefit in the management of infrastructure and assets

Revealing the sources of Sydney’s air pollution

Part 2: What does a radiation event cost the aviation industry?

The cost of building radiation-hardness testing into the design and qualification of electronics is typically well under one per cent of a major project’s budget.

Synchrotron X-rays reveal pathway to greener fertiliser production

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from UNSW have demonstrated a more sustainable alternative: an electrochemical pathway that couples carbon dioxide and nitrogen-containing species to produce urea under mild conditions.

Chasing ghosts at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering

Neutron and gamma ghost imaging are important scientific developments reported in two publications, and the subject of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant awarded to a team that includes ANSTO scientists

Research highlights importance of traditional fire burning practices to ensure survival of tree with Indigenous cultural and ecological significance

Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science provided strong evidence that some culturally significant trees on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) have persisted for up to more than 500 years

A simplified way to produce new class of molecules with potential application for preparation of nanomaterials

Food Materials Science

The Food Materials Science project applies nuclear-based techniques to investigate fundamental and industrial problems of national significance in food science, including food processing and product development, ingredient selection, food, and health.

Shining a light on big data in the West

ANSTO awarded an Athena Bronze Institution Award

ANSTO has been awarded an Athena Bronze Institution Award, acknowledging our dedication to improving workplace equality, diversity and inclusion.

Using antibacterial lipids in nanoparticles combined with established treatment shows promise against antibiotic resistant bacteria

Scientists have found a new approach to killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria using lipid nanoparticles that target specific layers on the surface of the bacterial cell.
