An instrument used to study any materials with structure of the length scale 1-100nm.

Research investigates traditional Indigenous Australian burning techniques in managing landscape and reducing fuel loads.

On the international stage amongst the leading nuclear nations of the world, Australians hold its own. This status has been earned by ANSTO’s seventy-year history of safe nuclear operations, the application of nuclear science and technology to benefit society and nuclear stewardship role in Australia.

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.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

Primary students across Australia were invited to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia for our 2020 Shorebirds Competition. In response to COVID-19, and the changes to children’s learning environments, we opened the competition early and also included categories for individual children to enter, as well as school children.

MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.

ANSTO highlighted its food origin research with live shows and an expert panel discussion to showcase Australian science in the Australia Pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka from 8-10 October.

Accurate ‘fingerprinting’ tool to verify source of origin is in development with collaborators from academia and industry.

Applications are now being accepted for the Industry foundations Scholarship.

China’s vertical sandstone pillars studied using nuclear techniques

His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley visited ANSTO’s Innovation Centre nandin and several facilities including the OPAL multipurpose reactor this week for a tour after learning of the ANSTO-nandin win in the NASA SpaceApps COVID 19 Challenge.

ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.

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

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.

ANSTO environmental scientists have alerted the scientific community of the critical need to monitor changes to ice containing potential nuclear fallout that reached Antarctica from 20th century atmospheric weapons testing.

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.
