With all excavation completed and rock removed from the underground site, the physics lab will now be built within the caverns of the Stawell Mines site.

The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.

New high energy ion microprobe beamline supports space research on the effects of radiation on astronauts.

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.

Information has been provided to assist with the preparation of experiment proposals and beamtime.

A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.

A selection of research highlights, instrument news and technical developments for scientists.

Technical information on the Soft X-ray spectroscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

Using nuclear techniques to help sustain Australia's finite groundwater resources

Radiocarbon analyses on corals from two sites in Australian waters of the southwest (SW) Pacific has indicated significant changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific and large climate variability during the early to mid-Holocene period (8,000-5,400 years ago).

ANSTO has safely managed its radioactive waste for over 60 years. Waste is managed in accordance with national and international standards.

The International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP) is administered by the Australian Synchrotron and is designed to assist Australian-based synchrotron users to access overseas synchrotron related facilities.
