ANSTO's Hackathon 2024

ANSTO's National Science Week Hackathon

For the fourth year in a row, we're excited to be launching our Hackathon for students in partnership with the Australian Science Teacher's Association (ASTA) and the Design Factory Global Network (DFGN) as part of National Science Week. The theme for 2023 is Innovation: Powering Future Industries. The theme will incorporate the advancement in technology in all industries, especially using artificial intelligence (AI).

Beamtime Guide - XAS

Beamtime Guide - XAS

Beamtime guide for Scientists applying to use the XAS beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline (MX3)

High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline (MX3)

The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.

Plans to safely manage medical and research waste

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.

Infrared microspectroscopy

Infrared microspectroscopy

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

Nuclear thermal propulsion

Nuclear propulsion systems

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

Stefania Perrachi
Accelerator Beamline scientist
Role at ANSTO

Dr Stefania Peracchi is an accelerator beamline scientist at the Centre for Accelerator Science.

Micro-Computed Tomography beamline (MCT)

Micro-Computed Tomography beamline (MCT)

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.

ANSTO supports investigations into new area of COVID research

ANSTO’s National Deuteration Facility has been providing high-quality deuterated lipids used in the construction of cell membrane models to support research that improves our understanding of how the virus interacts with elements of the cell membrane, a relatively new area of investigation.
