A sparrow with 257 parts weighing more than 29 tonnes arrives safely at ANSTO

Researchers from the Health Research and Technology Group at ANSTO and the University of Wollongong have developed a new device that could improve the quality control of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy, a promising radiation therapy for treating aggressive cancers. 

The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.

ANSTO User Meeting 2021 - Speakers

ANSTO provides a summary of water usage and discharge for FY2024 - FY2025

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission (µPIXE) is used to construct elemental maps that show variations of an element's concentration across the sample surface.

New infrared imaging technique reveals molecular orientation of proteins in silk fibres

When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.

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.

ANSTO Big Ideas 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.

Peter Kabokov will continue work that will contribute to defence industry

A Powerhouse exhibition was recognised with a prestigious Museums and Galleries National Award for Research at a ceremony in Perth this morning.  The Invisible Revealed exhibition was organised in collaboration with ANSTO and the University of NSW.

Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.

ANSTO is participating in a new Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) to be headquartered at James Cook University (JCU) that aims to bring Indigenous and environmental histories to the forefront of land and sea management.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

Researchers from Murdoch University and associated collaborators are using ANSTO’s unique nuclear capabilities to gain detailed information about how wheat crops take in administered micronutrients to maximise their efficient use.

On behalf of ANSTO thank you for your interest in our tours. We hope your visit to ANSTO will be both enjoyable and informative.
