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.
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.
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.
Multiple techniques elucidate hardness with radiation damage
3D models of multilayered structures on engineering scale from nanoscale damage profiles.
Synchrotron techniques powerful tool to reveal inner workings of volcanoes
An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.
ANSTO recognises scientific achievement, leadership, external collaboration and outreach at Awards event
ANSTO recognised the contribution of individuals and teams to nuclear science and technology at the 2023 ANSTO Awards Ceremony held on 25 July.
Aboriginal inhabitants of Madjedbebe, northern Australia used different ways to adapt to environmental change
ANSTO has contributed to research that indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies, allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last ca. 65,000 years.
Understanding fine particle pollution
Thirty years of ANSTO's unique capability in monitoring fine particle pollution provides insight on bushfire smoke.
Excavation of dark matter lab completed
With all excavation completed and rock removed from the underground site, the physics lab will now be built within the caverns of the Stawell Mines site.
Spatz - Neutron Reflectometer
A neutron reflectometer for vertical samples.
CORIS360® case studies
The history of ANSTO began 70 years ago with the Atomic Energy Act 1953
PIXE
Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.
End of an era for Australia’s first nuclear reactor
Understanding how a common food additive causes changes in the microbiome
ANSTO has collaborated on a study assessing the impact of the commonly-used food additive titanium dioxide (TiO2) on gut microbiota and inflammation.
