University of Melbourne researchers have investigated a method to produce magnetic nanoparticles in Australia for use in COVID-19 PCR tests.

ANSTO is dedicated to identifying opportunities for the application of knowledge and technology developed by the organisation for a wide range of industry applications.

ANSTO seeks candidates who are passionate about making a contribution to Australian society through supporting nuclear science and 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. Of course, powers like that help Jack find and clear up waste plastic. But Jack's main job is to educate young readers.

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

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 BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering maintains a sample environment service for the instruments. It comprises a range of sample environments, two sample environment laboratories and four sample preparation laboratories.

The Detection & Imaging group builds on ANSTO’s 70-year history of scientific achievements and contributions in meeting the nuclear needs of industry, globally.

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) are pleased to present this year's invited speakers.

Within the bulk structure of such glasses, boron is known to be a key actor, as it exhibits intriguing and composition-dependent changes in coordination state that often drive properties.

Research on the mechanism of cell death has insights to bring progress on neurodegenerative diseases and plant biosecurity.

ANSTO continually monitors environmental gamma radiation from a station located in Engadine NSW. ANSTO uses environmental radiation data to evaluate atmospheric dispersion from its site. This radiation is almost completely natural background radiation.
