ANSTO environmental scientists have alerted the scientific community of the critical need to monitor changes to ice containing potential nuclear fallout that reached Antarctica from 20th century atmospheric weapons testing.
Shorebirds Competition 2022 results.
Since 1962, the United Uranium Scholarship has helped promising young scientists in the field of nuclear energy extend their knowledge and expertise. In 2022, scholarships were awarded to several ANSTO researchers, including Phil Sutton.
Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) detects charged particles and is used predominantly to determine concentrations and depth profiles of the lighter elements.
ANSTO Nuclear Fuel Cycle researcher recognised for contributions to crystallography and structural chemistry on actinides and lanthanides.
Investigations of various aspects of magnetism can be conducted on all neutron-scattering instruments at OPAL.
Kowari, a residual stress diffractometer, can be used for ‘strain scanning’ of large engineering components as large as 1000 kilograms.
Publications and resources from the Powder Diffraction beamline.
A neutron reflectometer for vertical samples.
This tour is an introduction to isotopes, radioactivity and half-life, and the real-life applications of these concepts. Students will do a series of hands-on activities using the workbook below.
We are working on new content to address the new 2026 NSW Science Stage 5 (Year 9-10) syllabus.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Please print enough copies of the relevant workbook for your class before your visit to ANSTO.
Potential new treatments and tools for depression under development.
Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.
ANSTO's Chief Nuclear Officer shares insights on the safe management of Australia's nuclear waste.
In space, without the protection of the magnetosphere, the type and dose of radiation is considerably different to what is naturally experienced on earth. However, it is the secondary particles of lower energies created when galactic and cosmic radiation interacts with shielding that is of concern for astronauts.
Our dedicated mineralogists provide specialised knowledge on the mineralogy of ores/concentrates and the wide variety of solids and residues typically generated in hydromet processes. We have well-equipped facilities that can handle a diverse range of samples, particularly those containing elevated concentrations of uranium and thorium.
A large international collaboration has developed a straightforward and cost-effective synthesizing approach using a 3D printing technique to produce single atom catalysts (SACs)—potentially paving the way for large scale commercial production with broad industrial applications.
The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.
