Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

A team of Melbourne researchers and international partners from Italian Instituto Nazionale de Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and CERN, who are developing radiation-hardened semiconductor chips, used the unique state-of-art high energy ion microprobe on the SIRIUS ion accelerator at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science to test a prototype radiation-resistant computer chip

ANSTO will participate in a New Zealand Marsden project which will search for chemical clues linked to the origins of life on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. 

ANSTO research focuses on an advanced form of cancer treatment under consideration in Australia.

It is critical across many industries to identify and locate sources of radiation accurately and quickly. By accurately imaging radiation across the full energy range, CORIS360™ improves operational decision making across many industry settings.

ANSTO has a role in the global monitoring system on behalf of Australia to ensure non-proliferation of weapons and that nuclear technology is only used for peaceful purposes.

ANSTO User Meeting 2021 - Speakers

The workshop will offer a comprehensive introduction to the latest scientific analytical tools which are exclusively offered across the facilities under the operation of ANSTO, including neutron, synchrotron and accelerator based techniques.

An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.
