Medium Energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline (MEX-1 and MEX-2)
The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.
Sika - Cold Triple Axis Spectrometer
The instrument is ideally suited to study of spin and lattice dynamics, magnon and phonon dispersion relations in single crystal samples.
Multiscale modelling of laser-based additive manufacturing for the development of process–structure–property relationships
ANSTO is working with academic and industry partners on the development of multiscale numerical simulations of Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) 3D printing.
Applications Open for the International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP)
The International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP) is administered by the Australian Synchrotron and is designed to assist Australian-based synchrotron users to access overseas synchrotron related facilities.
Air pollution from combustion processes in Newcastle
Combustion reactions in vehicles, household woodfires and coal-fired power plants all result in fine particle air pollution in the air we breathe. ANSTO has been measuring and characterising fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia for more than 30 years. This data set provides records from 1998 to 2019 of the concentration of 12 elements present in fine airborne particulate matter from an air sampling station located in Mayfield in Newcastle, NSW.

Secrets of spider web strength revealed
Synchrotron infrared technique reveals first insights into evolution and structure of Australian basket-web spider’s silk.
Verifying the integrity of products made by additive manufacturing during the build
Research challenges assumptions about deep-sea volcanic eruptions
Quokka - Small Angle Neutron Scattering
The QUOKKA instrument provides the powerful technique of small-angle neutron scattering which can look at sizes and structures of objects on the nanoscale including soft matter.
Twenty PhD students take on an innovation challenge linked to leading Australian industry partners
Nine PhD students are taking part in a rare opportunity to deliver an innovative solution to a real-world challenge for an industry partner in ANSTO’s National Graduate Innovation Forum in association with the Australian Council of Deans of Science and the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering.
Historic greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core sampling
ANSTO Physicist Andrew Smith collaborates with international scientists to study historical greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core samples. This data set contains temperature records and concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane from the last 800,000 years.
Students will:
- read suggested articles relating to the increase in concentration of greenhouse gases
- construct graphs using the data provided
- use the knowledge and understanding acquired from reading the suggested articles and their constructed graphs to answer questions provided
The risks posed by stormwater runoff can be monitored with thin-film technology
A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.
Part 1: An explanation of the three-body problem featured in science fiction series
Two ANSTO physicist explain the three-body problem as featured in science fiction series of the same name
Restarting a nuclear reactor series: It’s all in the preparation and slow and careful actions
ANSTO recently re-started the OPAL Reactor after a six-month shutdown for essential maintenance and the installation of an upgraded facility.
Studying Western Australian caves to help us understand climate change
On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.
Fossilised teeth tell the story of feeding habits of extinct reptiles, including dinosaurs
1MV VEGA Accelerator
The 1MV accelerator system, named VEGA, is designed with the capability to perform high efficiency, high precision 14C and actinide mass spectrometry.
