Move over Curiosity Rover: New LEGO model of nuclear instrument
Going underground to understand Australia's past climate variability
Given the importance of water in Australia, surprisingly, there is relatively little information about the past variability of rainfall on this continent. Although there is a good annual record of the past 100 years in Australia, there is nothing much before that period and no known cave deposit records exist for New South Wales.
Training session highlighted an approach to calculate the ingested dose of radionuclides in seafood
Dr Mathew Johansen, an environmental scientist at ANSTO, presented in an online IAEA training workshop on Advanced Topics in Radiochemistry Techniques this week.
Study of polar ice confirms carbon-climate feedback
Investigators have verified and quantified the relationship between the Earth’s land biosphere and changes in temperature and provided evidence that temperature impacts the cycling of carbon between land, ocean and the atmosphere.
Nuclear medicine supplies restored
Production of nuclear medicine generators has resumed, with all relevant quality control checks passed, and medicine to be distributed across Australia from Sunday 25th October 2020.
Launch of deep technology incubator
This week ANSTO formally launched the nandin Deep Technology Incubator, a full-service innovation hub that enables the best and the brightest minds to come together to foster innovation and change.
Four million nuclear medicine doses produced, and going strong

Research highlights how to make food different and better by design
International researchers have used nuclear techniques at ANSTO - a centre for food materials science - to develop a methodology that could assist in the design of oleogel systems for food applications.
Creative Kids Voucher can be used for school holiday workshops
Parents can use their NSW Government Creative Kids Voucher to pay for ANSTO's School Holiday workshops.
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) is used principally as a method for measuring hydrogen in thin layers, and in the near-surface region of materials.
Shorebirds & Wetlands Incursion outline and syllabus
Students are introduced to shorebirds and their wetland habitats. They encounter the incredible journeys of our migratory shorebirds and how they connect wetlands in a fun playground game. Students also participate in a hands-on adaptations activity and learn about environmental research conducted at ANSTO.

Extracting methane from ice to understand past climate
Principal Research Scientist Andrew Smith is travelling to the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica with American collaborators on a 3-year National Science Foundation project now in its final year that involves mining tonnes of ice for palaeoclimate research.
Success of Australian Synchrotron Open Day reflects public interest in science
Close to 3000 members of the public decided to have a look at a building that is shaped like a doughnut, is as big as a football field and creates light more powerful than the sun when the Australian Synchrotron held its bi-annual Open Day held on Sunday, 16 October.
