Assessing the impacts of plastics in our oceans and seas
ANSTO plastic trawling from Hobart to Sydney
Proton Elastic Scattering
Proton Elastic Scattering (PESA) is ideally suited to the measurement of hydrogen concentration in thin samples.
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) is used principally as a method for measuring hydrogen in thin layers, and in the near-surface region of materials.
Micro-Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
Micro-Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (µERDA) is used to reconstruct elemental maps from scanned raster points.
High-temperature Quasi-Elastic Scattering on Pelican
ANSTO supports innovative industry process to minimise plastic waste and maximise feed stock for 3D printing
Sutherland Shire locals invited to become ANSTO Citizen Scientists
Some surprises about the degradation of microplastics in our oceans
The process by which plastic degrades in the ocean facilitates its entry into the natural carbon cycle efficiently as carbon dioxide.

Romar Engineering Project Summary
Interactions of nanoplastics
Exploring the interaction of polystyrene nanoplastics and blood plasma proteins.
Trash to treasure with 3D printing breakthrough
New technology is being developed in Sydney to recycle used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and turn it into raw materials for 3D printing.
Jack the Super Prawn
Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Barrier Reef and uses his powers to protect the environment. With JackVac, he cleans up rubbish and impurities in seawater. With JackCopter, he soars high into the air, where you wouldn't normally see a prawn. Of course, powers like that help Jack find and clear up waste plastic. But Jack's main job is to educate young readers.
