With more than thirty years of expertise and experience in critical minerals and rare earths extraction and processing, ANSTO welcomes the Australian Government’s announcement of a 2022 Critical Minerals Strategy

A large international collaboration has developed a straightforward and cost-effective synthesizing approach using a 3D printing technique to produce single atom catalysts (SACs)—potentially paving the way for large scale commercial production with broad industrial applications.

ANSTO health researchers have contributed to an international study published in Nature Neuroscience that sheds light on the mechanism by which anti-anxiety drugs act on the brain which could lead to cognitive impairment in vulnerable individuals.

ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.

International research led by Monash University and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity has achieved a proof of concept for a new, fast, portable saliva screening test that uses an infrared light technology to confirm infection with SARS-CoV-2.

ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.

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

ANSTO has recently participated in a regional program in Bangkok, Thailand, on food safety, security, and productivity using nuclear science and technology in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Researchers have discovered a 380-million-year-old heart – the oldest ever found – alongside a separate fossilised stomach, intestine and liver in an ancient jawed fish, shedding new light on the evolution of our own bodies.

Research to understand how contaminants move through the soil and affect ecosystems and humans as well estimating emissions.

Targeted research to improve knowledge of past and present climate and the evolution of landscape.

ANSTO researchers investigate the behavior of materials in extreme environments, to analyse and predict how they will behave under adverse conditions.

Research to detect and measure air pollution, the composition the atmosphere and mixing in the atmosphere.

ANSTO researchers are undertaking the fabrication and characterising advanced fuels and investigating the key properties of nuclear waste and its long-term interaction with containment materials to improve safety for short and long-term storage.

In a world-first study, Australian environmental scientists have used cave stalagmites as a record of groundwater replenishment over time, that showed the current level of rainfall recharging groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years.

By submitting a proposal for Merit Access to ANSTO’s Biosciences, Centre for Accelerator Science, Isotope Tracing, Nuclear Stewardship or the Vivarium capabilities, you are agreeing to the following Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions apply to external merit researchers, scientific collaborators and partners unless there is a specific agreement in place between ANSTO and the home institution of the Principal Investigator.

ANSTO is one of Australia’s largest public research organisations and is widely recognised as an international player in the field of nuclear science and technology.

ANSTO, as the Australian centre for nuclear-related research and as the custodian of large research infrastructure is well-positioned to undertake research on molten sale based reactor systems using its capabilities and expertise.
