University of Melbourne researchers have investigated a method to produce magnetic nanoparticles in Australia for use in COVID-19 PCR tests.

A large group of ANSTO environmental scientists and collaborators have produced the first groundwater stable isotopes, ‘isoscapes’, intuitive maps with grid data, across NSW combining new and pre-existing isotope measurements.

ANSTO and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have been recognised for their valuable contributions to the search and recovery efforts for a missing 8mm-long radioactive capsule in the Western Australian outback.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

ANSTO offers accelerator-based particle-induced gamma-ray emission techniques to determine total fluorine concentration in a range of solid materials and rapidly screen for the presence of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

Research collaboration with University of Sydney focuses on a personalised approach to cancer treatment.

The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.

Your students can analyse real research data from ANSTO scientists.

With a well-established portfolio of nuclear research and the operation of Australia's only nuclear reactor OPAL, ANSTO scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research on fuel for current, advanced, and future nuclear technology systems.

Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.
