Environmental scientist with a passion for fieldwork and a lifelong commitment to scientific excellence

ANSTO is seeking nominations for the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal.

On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.

Phase contrast tomography shows great promise in early stages of study and is expected to be tested on first patients by 2020.

ANSTO is part of a contingent showcasing Australian science at the Australian Pavilion at the World Expo Osaka in October.

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.

Lithium Australia, a company that has a close association with ANSTO’s business unit Minerals, has been awarded a US patent for its unique lithium mining technology SiLeach®.

Young and mid-career ANSTO scientists and engineers have been featured in the latest issue of Careers with STEM that highlights careers in nuclear science.

ANSTO is a partner on the National Space Qualification Network (NSQN) led by the Australian National University (ANU) that will transform Australia into a world-leading space centre by enhancing facilities to test payloads, components, and hardware prior to their use in harsh environments of space.

ANSTO neutron diffraction scientist was among the experts presenting on next-generation batteries at South Korean conference.

Use of nuclear techniques to benefit industry and consumers

Within the bulk structure of such glasses, boron is known to be a key actor, as it exhibits intriguing and composition-dependent changes in coordination state that often drive properties.

The Australian Government recently signed a landmark emissions reduction technology deal with Great Britain, which includes nuclear energy and clean hydrogen among the six key low emission technologies the two countries hope to advance.

The 2021 intake of bright young graduates have arrived at the ANSTO Precinct at Lucas Heights and this week will commence their exciting new career to become the nation’s future leaders in STEM and innovation.
