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
Research indicates that the portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an appropriate analytical technique for determining seafood provenance at external sites.
Scientists from Monash, ANSTo and China have developed an ultra-thin membrane that could separate harmful ions from water or capture gases.
Particle induced X-ray emission can be used for quantitative analysis in archaeology, geology, biology, materials science and environmental pollution.
A group from Monash university has sought to make a new innovative nano-porous sieve material which has the potential to be produced on a global scale and is effective for a much longer time.
Recognition of research that developed a life-saving pharmaceutical milkshake using synchrotron techniques.
ANSTO’s user office in Melbourne offers access to the Australian Synchrotron, a world-class research facility with over 4,000 user visits per year. ANSTO seeks collaboration and partnerships with research organisations, scientific users and commercial users.
ANSTO showcased its significant contribution to security, safety, and public health during a visit of the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic, Australian Ambassador to Austria Richard Sinclair and Ambassador for Arms Control and Counter-Proliferation Ian Biggs and other dignitaries at the weekend.
ANSTO’s own meteorite hunter, who is also a planetary scientist and instrument scientist Dr Helen Brand took part in an expedition led by Professor Andy Tomkins of Monash University that has found the largest meteorite strewn field in Australia since the famous Murchison meteorite event in 1969.
A lesson in Science and Sustainability.
ANSTO recognises the traditional indigenous owners of the land at all its sites and works to contribute to the recognition of the indigenous cultural heritage of Australia.
ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.
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.
Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO has supported new archaeological research conducted by Flinders University and the University of Queensland that describes significant earth mound features used for cooking that were created by Aboriginal people in the Riverland region of South Australia.
