Radiocarbon dating is a well-known method for determining the age of materials up to the age of approximately 50,000 years.

Using PET and simulations to verify the accuracy of dose and range in advanced therapy with heavy ions

Groundbreaking research published today in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology by the Museums Victoria Research Institute and Monash University unveiled a landmark discovery – fossils of the world’s oldest known megaraptorid and the first evidence of carcharodontosaurs in Australia.

3D models of multilayered structures on engineering scale from nanoscale damage profiles.

Singapore researchers publish findings of link between proteins of archaea and eukaryotes despite being separated by more than 2 billion years of evolution.

Neutron association award to energy materials researcher Prof Vanessa Peterson.

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.

Particle induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) is typically run in conjunction with PIXE and RBS and is used to quantify concentrations of elements such as lithium, fluorine, sodium, magnesium and aluminium.

A site for the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility has been acquired, with the new facility to be built near the town of Kimba on the South Australian Eyre Peninsula. 

German ambassador visits to see a ‘sparrow’ being assembled.

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.

An unusual and very exciting form of carbon - that can be created by drawing on paper - looks to hold the key to real-time, high throughput DNA sequencing, a technique that would revolutionise medical research and testing.
