PIXE
Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.
Radiocarbon is a powerful tracer for ocean circulation and climate studies
Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).
Understanding corrosion in concrete sewer pipes
Using neutron imaging techniques at ANSTO, researchers from Macquarie University have gained a better understanding of how corrosion forms and spreads through concrete that is commonly used in sewer pipes.
OPAL multi-purpose reactor
Australia’s Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) reactor is a state-of-the-art 20 megawatt multi-purpose reactor that uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to achieve a range of activities to benefit human health, enable research to support a more sustainable environment and provide innovative solutions for industry.

Synchrotron techniques reveal amount of carbon captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone
A collaboration of Australian scientists has used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron to measure the amount of carbon that is captured in microscopic seams of deep-sea limestone, which acts as a carbon sink.
How climate change is erasing the world’s oldest rock art
Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.
