Detailed molecular structure of silver nanocrystals determined

ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.

ANSTO has agreed to participate in an Australian trial of a review of research infrastructure access proposals in which applicants remain anonymous to aid the removal of structural barriers to the career progression of Women in STEM.

ANSTO health researchers have contributed to an international study published in Nature Neuroscience that sheds light on the mechanism by which anti-anxiety drugs act on the brain which could lead to cognitive impairment in vulnerable individuals.

ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.

Collaboration across the Tasman has enabled Australian and New Zealand researchers and scientists to shed light on a protein involved in diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, gastric cancer and melanoma.

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.

Study shows for the first time that vegetation in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to a drying climate.

ANSTO physicist supports launch of new carbon ion therapy treatment service in Austria.

An international team has published research in Nature today that identified the oldest known mummified remains of an exceptionally well-preserved terrestrial vertebrate, a 289-million-year-old reptile Captorhinus.

ANSTO continually monitors environmental gamma radiation from a station located in Engadine NSW. ANSTO uses environmental radiation data to evaluate atmospheric dispersion from its site. This radiation is almost completely natural background radiation.

ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.

The outcome could have significant implications for better monitoring, management and remedial action of groundwater globally.

The Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) is a flagship beamline of the Australian Synchrotron built with considerable support from the NHMRC. It is one of only a few of its type, and delivers the world’s widest synchrotron x-ray ‘beam’.
