The physics and chemistry used at ANSTO is built upon, in significant part, by pioneering female scientists who were sidelined, expelled, or simply not credited appropriately for their achievements.

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has joined a team, lead by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to install a high resolution monitoring system at ANSTO’s medical isotope production facility in Lucas Heights, Australia.

Explore the many roles that glass plays in our lives, from phone screens to optical fibres in the 2022 hackathon theme of Glass: More Than Meets the Eye

The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

Insights into the formation of deep river canyons mountain ranges in intra-tectonic plate areas by SAAFE Scholarship recipient and collaborators.

With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.

Taipan is used to study the collective motion of atoms, phonons and magnons in materials, and phase transitions and processes involving thermal energy.

A major study has identified urbanisation and climate change as future threats to drinking water quality.

View the upcoming proposal deadlines for access to ANSTO’s Research Portal. The User Office provides support for research proposals and enables you to leverage our world-class research infrastructure and facilities.

ANSTO is participating in a major project to learn more about an important component of the atmosphere, the hydroxyl radical.

The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

The Minerals consultancy group at ANSTO has expertise in chemical engineering, metallurgy, mineralogy, chemistry, geology, and radiation safety. We can support our client's project by providing process development services, technical review, and research.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.
