Japanese scientists collaborate on self-healing ceramics for nuclear reactors

ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.

Major study identifies a potential drug target for lowering cholesterol

Study explored how key proteins manage dietary cholesterol absorption and elucidated crucial transport mechanisms that contribute to cholesterol balance in the body.

Towards realisation of novel semiconductor radiation detectors

Research highlights the importance of the Murray Darling Basin for Australia’s waterbirds

An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.

Enhancing the science of rivets earns researcher early career award

Dr Rezwanul Haque, now a senior lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, received a national Young Scientist Award for his earlier research using nuclear techniques at ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering to find cracks and signs of stress in riveted joints in sheet metal in car bodies.

Window into the cell

Access to a ‘window into the cell’ with University of Wollongong cryogenic electron microscope at ANSTO.

Working at ANSTO

ANSTO offers a diverse range of career opportunities within science, engineering, corporate services and trade disciplines.

Symposium on advanced therapy

Science and medical experts meet in Adelaide to discuss great potential of particle therapy in Australia

Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

ANSTO welcomes revitalised National Science and Research Priorities and National Science Statement

(ANSTO) has welcomed the launch of the new National Science Statement and revitalised National Science and Research Priorities by Minister for Industry and Science, The Hon Ed Husic MP and Australia’s Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley AO PSM.

Scientists untangle the challenging complexities of radiocarbon in ice cores

Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.

Celebrating Australian women in nuclear

Highlighting the contribution of four inspirational ANSTO leaders on International Women's Day.

New survey uncovers the crystal building blocks of Saturn’s moon Titan

Researchers from ANSTO and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have uncovered the likely mineral composition of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, revealing a world of exotic organic crystals unlike any found on Earth.

Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction

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.
