A sparrow with 257 parts weighing more than 29 tonnes arrives safely at ANSTO

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

At ANSTO we understand that diverse teams produce better outcomes – and we value the merit that a diverse perspective can bring to the quality and outcomes of our work, and the way we get the job done.

ANSTO is committed to monitoring its environmental performance and providing the community with accurate information about it. We also publish live meteorological data from our 49m Lucas Heights weather tower every 15 minutes.

The instrument is very well suited for the study of kinetic effects, like relaxation following a chemical reaction, or external impulses like mechanical deformation, an electric or magnetic field.

Defence requirements push your technology, we can help. ANSTO is home to some of Australia’s most important landmark research infrastructure – more than $1.3bn of it.  Our unique capabilities are used by thousands of Australian researchers from industry and academia every year.

A new source added to ANSTO’s cosmogenic toolkit to study past climate and landscape change

Unique landmark instrumentation and expertise are a hallmark of ANSTO’s sovereign capability, unavailable anywhere else in Australia.  Our ability to identify the source of hazardous particulates in air, the age of water in aquifers and the detailed chemistry of toxic elements in complex soil and biota specimens are just some examples of ANSTO capability.

ANSTO's Melbourne location is home to the ANSTO-owned and operated Australian Synchrotron. The Synchrotron is one of the Australia's most significant pieces of scientific infrastructure.

(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.

The first experimental evidence to validate a newly published universal law that provides insights into the complex energy states for liquids has been found using an advanced nuclear technique at ANSTO.

The Accelerator Science group purse a broad research program with the aims of improving the performance and reliability of our accelerators, increasing their research capabilities and developing the next generation of accelerator technology.

Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Barrier Reef and uses his powers to protect the environment. With JackVac, he cleans up rubbish and impurities in seawater. With JackCopter, he soars high into the air, where you wouldn't normally see a prawn.
