Measurement research undertaken to ensure safe, well-engineered nanoparticles

The mining industry is set to benefit from a new Australian capability that uses a nuclear scanning technique to detect the presence of precious metals and strategic minerals in a core sample.

International palaeontologists have used advanced imaging techniques at ANSTO’S Australian Synchrotron to clarify the role that the earliest fruit-eating birds of the Cretaceous period may have had in helping fruit-producing plants to evolve.

New class of single atoms catalysts for carbon nanotubes characterised.

Win an awesome science experience! Prize includes flights, travel, accommodation, and meals. Our Big Ideas competition is opening soon and encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.

Infastructure used on the Energy Materials Project.

A new source added to ANSTO’s cosmogenic toolkit to study past climate and landscape change

Two early career nuclear scientists who received international scholarships have spent time in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle group at ANSTO are making progress on their work to improve nuclear fuel.

The Australian Synchrotron provides funding support for successful beamtime applicants in the form of travel funding and/or onsite accommodation. Travel funds granted are to be used solely to cover the majority of the cost to travel to the AS facility. The User Office will book accommodation for interstate user groups at the onsite AS Guesthouse.

A team of Australian scientists have created a new portable device that can pinpoint the exact location of radiation sources, faster and more accurately than ever before.

Atmospheric scientists have developed a new technique to measures the naturally-occurring radioactive gas radon for use in accurately categorising the degree of atmospheric mixing.
