Nuclear medicine facility
Australia’s new Mo-99 manufacturing facility reaches practical completion
Collaboration develops new imaging protocol
Imaging protocol assesses molecular mechanism of work in the treatment of deadly childhood cancer neuroblastoma.
What is nuclear science?
Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed.
STEM Career Tours
Discover the many career opportunities in the nuclear industry on a special behind the scenes tour of ANSTO.
Kimberley rock art dating project
Research will change understanding of Australian Aboriginal rock art found in rock shelters of the Kimberley and its relationship to a changing landscape
Science shines in the Sutherland Shire
The Victor Chang Institute School Science Awards
Powerful mathematical calculations guide the startup of a nuclear reactor
The nuclear analysis team at ANSTO recently had a significant role in the re-design and optimisation of a cold neutron source facility for the reactor, its installation and the subsequent restart after a six-month shutdown.
How safe is OPAL?
The OPAL research reactor's design and integrated safety features mean it is extremely safe; a fact confirmed by independent analysis.
Multipurpose research reactor providing radiopharmaceutical
Radioactive phosphorous for implantable medical device to treat pancreatic cancer in global clinical trial
2020 hackathon finalists
In partnership with the Australian Museum as part of National Science Week explore the 2020 hackathon theme of Deep Blue: Innovation for the future of our oceans
The evolution of molten salt reactors
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.
In the push and pull of crowds, disordered proteins dance precariously
A collaboration of scientists from RMIT, ANSTO and the CSIRO has published pioneering research that brings new insights into intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions (IDPs)/ (IDRs) and how they behave under various physiological processes.
ANSTO radiochemist receives national conference award
Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine recognises Nigel Lengkeek
Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)
The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.
nandin - one year on
It’s been one year since nandin opened its doors. Let's take a look back at what we've achieved so far before setting our sights on the future.
High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline (MX3)
The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.
Research highlights the importance of the Murray Darling Basin for Australia’s waterbirds
An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.
Scanners to go to a new home after a decade of excellence in preclinical imaging research
Following a decade of imaging to support research and clinical trials at ANSTO and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre at Camperdown, two PET scanners have been transferred to the University of Wollongong.
