Synchrotron infrared technique reveals first insights into evolution and structure of Australian basket-web spider’s silk.

The QUOKKA instrument provides the powerful technique of small-angle neutron scattering which can look at sizes and structures of objects on the nanoscale including soft matter.

Nine PhD students are taking part in a rare opportunity to deliver an innovative solution to a real-world challenge for an industry partner in ANSTO’s National Graduate Innovation Forum in association with the Australian Council of Deans of Science and the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering.

Latest information on the scheduled supply of our nuclear medicine production.

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.

An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought  greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.

Two ANSTO environmental scientists are part of a large team led by the Australian National University (ANU), who have received an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant to investigate how environmental change and human activities since industrialisation have impacted the transport and deposition of toxic metals on the south coast of Australia, Tasmania, and remote Southern Ocean islands.

A targeted radioactive infusion that is a game-changer in late-stage prostate cancer can also dramatically improve outcomes for patients in earlier stages of this disease, a Peter Mac-led study has shown.

ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.

A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.

Two ANSTO physicist explain the three-body problem as featured in science fiction series of the same name

ANSTO recently re-started the OPAL Reactor after a six-month shutdown for essential maintenance and the installation of an upgraded facility.
