New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.

Nuclear power is used as a reliable and clean energy solution in most OECD countries and many other parts of the world. Although it is banned in Australia, a number of government reviews are looking at current prohibitions on nuclear power.

Do you love science? Here is a competition for you that combines chemistry and creativity! Discover the world of elements and create a poster for your favourite element in this new competition for school aged students.

There has been an increasing pressure on construction industrial sector to utilise innovative materials that not only meet the requirements of ambitious architectural designs, but also reduce CO2 emissions.

Proposals at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering and National Deuteration Facility.

It is critical across many industries to identify and locate sources of radiation accurately and quickly. One of the more challenging aspects of dealing with radiation is that you cannot see it directly, which can result in potential exposure when working in those environments.

The SAXS / WAXS beamline at the Australian Synchrotron is a highly flexible x-ray scattering facility with purpose-built optics and a very flexible endstation and SAXS camera enable multiple types of experiments.

Research on the mechanism of cell death has insights to bring progress on neurodegenerative diseases and plant biosecurity.

ANSTO has responsibilities mandated by the Australian Government for the maintenance of the national measurement standard for radioactivity.

Osteoporosis is a major public health issue, and it has been estimated that total annual cost of osteoporosis/osteopenia in Australia is around $2,754 million.

A group from Monash university has sought to make a new innovative nano-porous sieve material which has the potential to be produced on a global scale and is effective for a much longer time.

ANSTO researchers are investigating nuclear propulsion systems for applications on the sea and in space.

ANSTO's Mo-99 Manufacturing Facility secures Australia’s ability to produce Mo-99 to meet current and future domestic demand and provide a significant proportion to support global demand.

ANSTO is seeking nominations for the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal.

ANSTO operates a range of cobalt-60 gamma irradiators, providing the Australian community with a range of irradiation services for medical, health, industry, agriculture and research purposes.

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 Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.

The growth and incorporation of graphene into semiconductor device architectures has been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to grow it on suitable substrates.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.
