Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Barrier Reef and uses his powers to protect the environment. With JackVac, he cleans up rubbish and impurities in seawater. With JackCopter, he soars high into the air, where you wouldn't normally see a prawn. Of course, powers like that help Jack find and clear up waste plastic. But Jack's main job is to educate young readers.

Our world is rapidly transitioning to renewable energy and electric transport systems that require the safe and efficient mining of various metals.

ANSTO is a highly regulated organisation. Our governance system and processes provide critical guidance to effectively manage ANSTO’s activities. This section outlines the processes and systems that are in place to provide assurance to Government, our stakeholders and the community that we are working within our regulated and mandated requirements.

ANSTO researchers have taken up the challenge to develop a coating for the cladding used in nuclear reactors to prevent it from taking up hydrogen and releasing it if temperatures get too high and repair itself if damaged.

Currently ANSTO partners with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to operate the Australian GNIP stations with samples analysed at ANSTO’s Environmental Isotope Laboratories in Sydney.

ANSTO has installed a radon detector for Curtin University in Burrup WA as part of the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program

Moving earth in the search for dark matter: laboratory construction underway at mine site.

The Australian Synchrotron in Melbourne has a suite of X-ray and infrared beamlines with applications in health, medical, food, environment, nano-technology, energy, mining, advanced materials, agriculture and cultural heritage.

The National Deuteration Facility offers access to deuterated molecules prepared by both in vivo biodeuteration and chemical deuteration techniques.

ANSTO's unique capabilities are being used to develop a quick analytical tool to determine the geographic origin of seafood and authenticates quality.

Congress marks watershed moment for nuclear medicine and ANSTO

Research on a rare type of superconducting intermetallic alloy

The proof of concept for the approach used in the early development of the new gamma-ray imaging system has been published,

Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

The radiography program focuses on the development of Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT) from initial preclinical work, to clinical trials and finally commercial translation and licencing.

A large international team led by scientists from the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials at the University of Wollongong has verified that the introduction of  novel molecular orbital interactions can improve the structural stability of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.
