The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.

Planning is now underway for a second repatriation project which is scheduled to take place in 2022. Find out more information.

ANSTO is Australia’s nuclear centre of excellence. It has a mandated role to advise the Australian Government on all nuclear and science technology matters.

In May 2023, The Honourable Dr Annabelle Bennett, ANSTO Board Chair, shared ANSTO's Statement of Intent with the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology.

The Think Science! competition encourages students in Years 3-10 to learn science inquiry skills in a fun and accessible way! Entry is FREE and there are generous prizes for winning schools. Any topic can be chosen, and special materials are not required.

Two Australian scientists have been appointed to assist with the development of a $500 million-dollar synchrotron facility in Mexico, the first and largest project of its kind.

Australia part of global renaissance in fusion power research symbolised by ITER experiment

The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline

Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) detects charged particles and is used predominantly to determine concentrations and depth profiles of the lighter elements.

Professor Vanessa Peterson, Senior Principal Research and Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist and Leader of the Energy Materials Research project, has been awarded the Bob Cheary Award or Excellence in Diffraction Analysis by the Australian X-ray Analytical Association. She is the first female to be chosen for the award.

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.

German ambassador visits to see a ‘sparrow’ being assembled.

ANSTO is interested finding students to collaborate on Generation IV reactor systems.

The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.
