Benefits of nuclear science

Benefits of nuclear science

ANSTO uses nuclear research techniques to address many of the important issues of our time relating to the environment, human health and industry.

Archaeology

PIXE

Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.

Last meal reveals eating habits of Australian sauropod

International research led by Curtin University and supported by ANSTO, has identified and studied the first sauropod dinosaur gut contents found anywhere in the world. The stomach content was preserved with a reasonably complete skeleton of the Australian Cretaceous species Diamantinasaurus matildae found in Winton Queensland.

Journal appointment

Aligning Taipan, one of ANSTO's neutron scattering instruments

Scientists ensure their measurements are accurate and precise by regularly calibrating their instruments. In this data set, students manipulate and graph calibration data from Taipan, one of ANSTO's neutron scattering instruments. Students must determine whether Taipan is functioning within the acceptable limits of error for the scientists' experiments.
