Radioanalytical chemistry

Radioanalytical chemistry

ANSTO’s Radioanalytical Chemistry (RAC) facility combines techniques in radiochemistry and radiological measurement by alpha spectrometry, gamma-ray spectrometry, and liquid scintillation analysis to deliver radiological assessments.

Materials in extreme environments

Materials in extreme environments

Material researchers at ANSTO use a range of in-house capabilities in the development, testing and characterisation of existing and emerging materials for extreme environments of the novel nuclear (fission/fusion) based energy-generation systems.

Shielding space shuttle

Materials in extreme environments

Materials researchers focus on development, performance and in-service degradation of nickel-based superalloys, reinforced carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC).

Australian Synchrotron

The Australian Synchrotron

A world-class national research facility that uses accelerator technology to produce a powerful source of light-X rays and infrared radiation a million times brighter than the sun.

ANSTO helping to ensure the safety of astronauts in space

A team of ANSTO health researchers, staff at the Centre for Accelerator Science and Dr Melanie Ferlazzo, a postdoc from the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and scientists from the French Space Agency (CNES), are collaborating on investigations to determine the impact of secondary particles on human cells using the new microprobe beamline at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science.

World Environment Day 2019. Beating air pollution

Today is World Environment Day, a United Nations initiative for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment. This year’s theme is “Beat Air Pollution”, a call to action to combat this global crisis.

Helping in the fight against COVID-19

Experts at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron are prioritising work that could hold the key to fast-tracking the development of a vaccine for COVID-19.

BioSAXS

Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)

The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.

Coin cell

Sample Information

How to prepare samples for analysis on the Powder Diffraction beamline.

Bilby - Small Angle Neutron Scattering

Bilby - Small Angle Neutron Scattering

The instrument is very well suited for the study of kinetic effects, like relaxation following a chemical reaction, or external impulses like mechanical deformation, an electric or magnetic field.
