A new study has shown that, rather than being discarded, plastics can be transformed into valuable carbon nanomaterials that help solve both energy and environmental challenges.

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from UNSW have demonstrated a more sustainable alternative: an electrochemical pathway that couples carbon dioxide and nitrogen-containing species to produce urea under mild conditions.

An international team led by ANSTO has been awarded a prestigious program grant from the Foundation for Australia-Japan Studies.

In part 1 of this two-part series, ANSTO scientists from across the organisation became film critics to review Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Oppenheimer, which explores the life of the director of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic weapon.

Monash University researchers have used advanced techniques at ANSTO to investigate the production of new, elongated polymer nanocapsules with a high payload of drug nanocrystals to potentially increase drug targetability, and also decrease dosage frequency and side effects.

In Australia and the Southeast Asia basin, the ANSTO facility offers a wide range of unique nuclear-beam techniques for cultural heritage research.

ANSTO User Meeting 2021 - Speakers

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.

In this top secret mission, you program your EV3 to complete several space challenges. As this is a beginners’ course, our facilitator can adjust the programming from simple to advance throughout the day.

Stop Motion Animation Workshop

In January 2026, Mr Michael Quigley AM, ANSTO Board Chair, shared ANSTO's Statement of Intent with the Minister for Industry and Innovation, and Minister for Science.

Over the last decades, neutron, photon, and ion beams have been established as an innovative and attractive investigative approach to characterise cultural-heritage materials.
