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.

3D models of multilayered structures on engineering scale from nanoscale damage profiles.

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.

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 recognised the contribution of individuals and teams to nuclear science and technology at the 2023 ANSTO Awards Ceremony held on 25 July.

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.

Thirty years of ANSTO's unique capability in monitoring fine particle pollution provides insight on bushfire smoke.

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.

A neutron reflectometer for vertical samples.

Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.

ANSTO has collaborated on a study assessing the impact of the commonly-used food additive titanium dioxide (TiO2) on gut microbiota and inflammation.

Radioisotope tracing technique are used to understand the uptake of contaminants, and nutrients, bioaccumulation, by aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants.

Dr Ceri Brenner appointed new leader of the Centre for Accelerator Science 

Using neutron imaging techniques at ANSTO, researchers from Macquarie University have gained a better understanding of how corrosion forms and spreads through concrete that is commonly used in sewer pipes.

Two startups supported by the nandin Innovation Centre at ANSTO have hit the ground running in 2021 securing major opportunities from state governments to see their businesses thrive.

Outstanding individuals and teams have been recognised for their outstanding work, innovation, excellence in the 2025 ANSTO Awards.
