Bringing radiochemistry to life
Special international nuclear medicine flights help sick Aussie kids
ANSTO completed an international overnight dash for nuclear medicine earlier this week, chartering three planes to get potentially life-saving children’s cancer treatments from Japan to hospitals across Australia.
Potential good news for a warming world
Collaboration finds that old carbon reservoirs are unlikely to cause a massive greenhouse gas release in a warming world.
ANSTO and UNSW scientists unlock Australia’s bushfire history using stalagmites
The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.
Unusual state of matter in new material holds promise for transformative quantum technologies
ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.
Two lectures from distinguished physicist
Dr Catalina Curceanu will explore exotic atoms and impossible phenomena in the universe.
Meteorites from the red desert of Australia support search for life on the red planet Mars
Monash University, University of Queensland and Australian National University researchers have used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron in their study of meteorites found on Earth that could be used in future to find evidence of life on the planet Mars.

Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
Today we celebrate 65 years since the official opening of Australia’s first nuclear research reactor in 1958
ANSTO is celebrating the official opening of HIFAR, Australia’s first nuclear reactor, sixty-five years ago.
