Research will change understanding of Australian Aboriginal rock art found in rock shelters of the Kimberley and its relationship to a changing landscape

With all excavation completed and rock removed from the underground site, the physics lab will now be built within the caverns of the Stawell Mines site.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

ANSTO's Chief Nuclear Officer shares insights on the safe management of Australia's nuclear waste.

Atomic structure of new cathode material for sodium ion batteries helps explain long life

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.

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.

ANSTO will make an application to the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, to vary its license for its Interim Waste Store. The original operating license was approved in 2015, enabling the facility to hold what is called a TN-81 cask of intermediate-level radioactive waste that was safely repatriated from France in 2015.

Nuclear engineer, Robert Mardus-Hall, with his research partner Andrew Pastrello, are developing nuclear power based solutions for space missions to the Moon and Mars.

Paper on redefinition of the kilogram receives international award

Federal Parliament’s House Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy has presented its report, arising from its Inquiry into the prerequisites for nuclear energy in Australia today.

International palaeontologists have used advanced imaging techniques at ANSTO’S Australian Synchrotron to clarify the role that the earliest fruit-eating birds of the Cretaceous period may have had in helping fruit-producing plants to evolve.

ANSTO is a registered Research Service Provider (RSP), registration number 12657, under section 29A of the Industry Research and Development Act 1986.

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.
