Inspiring young women to be part of next generation of scientists.

Earlier this month, ANSTO welcomed a delegation of Elders from the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage site to its Lucas Heights campus. The visit marked a significant collaboration between Traditional Custodians and scientists working to uncover the environmental history of Lake Mungo.

ANSTO completed an international overnight dash for nuclear medicine earlier this week, chartering three planes to get potentially life-saving children’s cancer treatments from Japan to hospitals across Australia.

One of ANSTO’s most accomplished scientists and internationally recognised energy researchers, Prof Vanessa Peterson, has been awarded the Nancy Millis Medal for Woman in Science by the Australian Academy of Science this week.

The Program Advisory Committees review proposals submitted to a particular beamline at the Australian Synchrotron

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.

Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

New energy technologies, including hydrogen production, are being investigated to achieve decarbonisation.

Frequently asked questions about ANSTO for the community.

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 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.

ANSTO is a highly regulated organisation. Our governance system and processes provide critical guidance to effectively manage ANSTO’s activities. This section outlines the processes and systems that are in place to provide assurance to Government, our stakeholders and the community that we are working within our regulated and mandated requirements.
