Year 3 to 6 tour outline and syllabus outcomes
The ANSTO primary tour experience has been enjoyed by thousands of students. Visit world-class science facilities and learn about the important role of scientists in society and the different environments they work in. Students participate in a fun and engaging "Colour and Light Show" and discuss their science interests with our experienced education team.
Cultural Heritage
Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
Before your experiment
As a new or returning facility user, there are certain requirements that must be completed in advance to allow you to participate in your planned ANSTO experiment(s).
A closer look at the science of detecting flu
Bragg Institute Advisory Committee meets
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.
Graduate Engineer
Morgan is a graduate at ANSTO. Last year she completed a Bachelor of Physics and Computer Science, and is now working in ANSTO’s Analytics team.
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.
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.
