ANSTO provides secondary students with a range of learning resources for those interested in science or studying for exams. For teachers, ANSTO provides learning resources and professional development, as well as in-school-term science tours and videoconferences. Workbooks are provided as required learning material to accompany a school visit to ANSTO. They can also be used on their own as a classroom resource.

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) is an independent group that provides advice to ANSTO Australian Synchrotron (AS) senior management on issues from a user perspective.

ANSTO has supported research led by a University of Sydney team who gained insights into how oil molecules retain their ‘liquid-like’ properties when they are chemically attached as an extremely thin layer to solid surfaces.  

The Scientific Computing team supports researchers by performing numerical simulations that complement experimental research. In particular, we use state-of-the-art software to perform computational quantum mechanical modelling, molecular dynamics simulations, lattice dynamics calculation, data analysis and visualisations.

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.

Professor of Soil Science at The University of Queensland, Peter Kopittke and partner investigator Prof Enzo Lombi of the University of SA are very optimistic about the use of a new synchrotron-based imaging technique that captures in 3D the complex interaction of soil and root.

La Trobe University researchers have used the Australian Synchrotron in a new study that reveals how crocodiles resist fatal fungal infections with a unique pH sensing mechanism despite living in filthy water.

Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy developed at ANSTO.

Beamtime Guide on the X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been announced. 

A new study has shown that, rather than being discarded, plastics can be transformed into valuable carbon nanomaterials that help solve both energy and environmental challenges.
