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.
ANSTO supports innovative industry process to minimise plastic waste and maximise feed stock for 3D printing
Evidence of quantum state in spin cluster chain
Phenomenon predicted by Nobel Prize recipient
Kowari - Strain Scanner
Kowari, a residual stress diffractometer, can be used for ‘strain scanning’ of large engineering components as large as 1000 kilograms.
Research finds a potential new "silver bullet" nanoparticle to treat brain cancer
Collaboration investigates a promising new nanoparticle for potential use in combination with other therapies for brain cancer
Simulating phase transformations during the welding of ferritic steels
Soft x-ray spectroscopy
Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.
Space
ANSTO has a range of capabilities and expertise to support aerospace and space research.
Accelerator technique useful for biomedical engineering
Accelerator technique used in pioneering biomaterials research led by the University of Sydney.
Advanced reactor research: Student opportunity
ANSTO is interested finding students to collaborate on Generation IV reactor systems.
Bacteria-driven remediation of iron ore tailings
Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.
What is radiation?
Radiation can be described as energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums. Light, heat, and wireless communications are all forms of radiation.
Research to extend aircraft fatigue life
Radiation biology
The measurement and manipulation of radiation and radioactive materials within biological systems. Capabilities include access to a range of radioisotopes, gamma/X-ray sources and a selection of X-ray beams, ion beams and neutron beams for irradiation.
Collaborative research brings new insights into radioactive waste, nuclear fuel and nuclear waste forms
ANSTO researchers have demonstrated longstanding expertise in the study of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste with two recent journal articles in a special issue of Frontiers of Chemistry.
Role at ANSTO
Defence and aerospace
Defence requirements push your technology, we can help. ANSTO is home to some of Australia’s most important landmark research infrastructure – more than $1.3bn of it. Our unique capabilities are used by thousands of Australian researchers from industry and academia every year.
