Vice President of the German Parliament visits

Wolfgang Kubicki, MdB and a small delegation visited to see the Spatz neutron instrument donated by Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and discuss research.

Nanostructure explains the behaviour of molecules with liquid-like properties

ANSTO has supported research led by a University of Sydney team who gained insights into how oil molecules retain their ‘liquid-like’ properties when they are chemically attached as an extremely thin layer to solid surfaces.

Understanding pollutants impact

Research highlights how biodistribution of a toxic substance essential to understand all exposure risks.

Research confirms that ancient Tasmania was not a ‘wilderness’ but an Indigenous cultural landscape

Recent studies led by the University of Melbourne have revealed that the Palawa people’s ancient land stewardship techniques have profoundly shaped the landscape of western Lutruwita, within the traditional territories located in Tasmania.

Advanced materials research in microgravity earns NASA recognition

A pioneering study led by Professor Junpei Yamanaka of Nagoya City University and an international team that included ANSTO has delivered transformative insights into the behaviour of colloidal particles under microgravity.

Patented technology removes key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing

ANSTO has been granted a patent in Australia and a number of European countries for the separation, a key radioactive contaminant in critical minerals processing, actinium-227, from process liquors used in minerals extraction.

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission (µPIXE) is used to construct elemental maps that show variations of an element's concentration across the sample surface.

Going underground to understand Australia's past climate variability

Given the importance of water in Australia, surprisingly, there is relatively little information about the past variability of rainfall on this continent. Although there is a good annual record of the past 100 years in Australia, there is nothing much before that period and no known cave deposit records exist for New South Wales.
