National Science Week is the perfect time to take an unforgettable journey and explore ANSTO science virtually at the atomic scale.
ANSTO's XR app provides full access to the OPAL multipurpose reactor. For security reasons, few people have the opportunity to see the real OPAL up-close—but with technology that will be shared at a select few locations and through a free VR app, you can take a deep dive into Australia’s only nuclear reactor.
See how synchrotron light generated from super accelerated electrons can give scientists x-ray vision and tour the Australian Synchrotron, the largest particle accelerator in the southern hemisphere.
Play with the ANSTO periodic table and see how atoms make up our world.
