Glass is a lens to cool nuclear science during National Science Week

New study of hydroclimate records reveals how water cycle on Earth responds to temperature increases

Willandra Lakes Elders visit ANSTO to support groundbreaking Lake Mungo research

Earlier this month, ANSTO welcomed a delegation of Elders from the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage site to its Lucas Heights campus. The visit marked a significant collaboration between Traditional Custodians and scientists working to uncover the environmental history of Lake Mungo.

ANSTO Event Environmental Sustainability Statement

This statement outlines the ways in which the events organised and run by ANSTO meet the goals outlined in the ANSTO Environmental Sustainability Strategy in the aim to reduce ANSTO’s environmental footprint.

Andrew Peele

Group Executive Nuclear Science and Technology

Andrew Peele was appointed Group Executive for ANSTO Nuclear Science and Technology in July 2021 and was Director of the Australian Synchrotron from 2013 -2021. He is an adjunct Professor of Physics at La Trobe University.

Nuclear stewardship

ANSTO is Australia’s nuclear centre of excellence. It has a mandated role to advise the Australian Government on all nuclear and science technology matters.

Additional funding for Chronic kidney disease research

ANSTO to receive a new grant to continue to fight chronic kidney disease killer in Sri Lanka.

Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

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.

Agriculture study on zinc nanofertilsers

Nuclear techniques used in investigation of a new class of micro and nanoscale zinc fertilisers.

Celebrating Australian women in nuclear

Highlighting the contribution of four inspirational ANSTO leaders on International Women's Day.

Food origin research in global spotlight at Expo 2025 Osaka

ANSTO highlighted its food origin research with live shows and an expert panel discussion to showcase Australian science in the Australia Pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka from 8-10 October.

Radiation biology

The measurement and manipulation of radiation and radioactive materials within biological systems. Capabilities include access to a range of radioisotopes, gamma/X-ray sources and a selection of X-ray beams, ion beams and neutron beams for irradiation.

Some of Sydney’s best science teachers meet its best science infrastructure

About us

The Detection & Imaging group builds on ANSTO’s 70-year history of scientific achievements and contributions in meeting the nuclear needs of industry, globally.

Simulation of radiation damage assists prototyping a new self-healing solar cell for next generation of power in space

Researchers developing new materials and devices that can withstand the harsh radiation environment in space are using the unique ANSTO’s capability to simulate the effects of high-energy ion irradiation on the properties and performance of these materials and devices.
