Today we celebrate 65 years since the official opening of Australia’s first nuclear research reactor in 1958
ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.
Unusual state of matter in new material holds promise for transformative quantum technologies
ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.

CORIS360® case studies
Radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis contribute to Antarctic research
Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.

Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.

Role at ANSTO

Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
Sharing expertise and learning at new particle therapy facility
ANSTO physicist supports launch of new carbon ion therapy treatment service in Austria.

Role at ANSTO
New underground lab to shed light on dark matter
Stage 1 of the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory was officially opened today. It will be home to multi-disciplinary scientists from five research partners who help us understand dark matter.

Role at ANSTO
Scientists untangle the challenging complexities of radiocarbon in ice cores
Research elucidates how in situ cosmogenic radiocarbon is produced, retained and lost in the top layer of compacting snow (the ‘firn layer’) and the shallow ice below at an ice accumulation site in Greenland.
You are what you eat
Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.
First light achieved for new micro-computed tomography beamline under Project BRIGHT
Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.

Role at ANSTO
Collaborative research brings new insights into radioactive waste, nuclear fuel and nuclear waste forms
ANSTO researchers have demonstrated longstanding expertise in the study of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste with two recent journal articles in a special issue of Frontiers of Chemistry.
Multiple techniques elucidate hardness with radiation damage
3D models of multilayered structures on engineering scale from nanoscale damage profiles.
Water experts share insights into unique environment of Thirlmere Lakes
ANSTO has produced a comprehensive report for the NSW Department of Planning and Environment that represents a significant scientific investigation of the connections, pathways and processes of water loss from the Thirlmere Lakes system.
