Our dedicated mineralogists provide specialised knowledge on the mineralogy of ores/concentrates and the wide variety of solids and residues typically generated in hydromet processes. We have well-equipped facilities that can handle a diverse range of samples, particularly those containing elevated concentrations of uranium and thorium.

ANSTO Analytical Facility conducts a range of analyses required to support our commercial projects, and can analyse everything from simple samples to complex matrices not typically dealt with by standard commercial laboratories.

Guidance for obtaining and maintaining human or animal ethics approval at the Australian Synchrotron.

Thales Australia, a key supplier to the Australian Defence Forces, provided an industrial challenge to National Graduate Innovation Forum participants relating to the production of piezoelectric ceramic components used in naval sonar arrays and systems.

ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.

Low-cost X-ray detectors featuring high sensitivity, durability and physical flexibility are required in fields ranging from medical imaging to defence. In this study, a new material for X-ray detection was coupled with inkjet printing to produce a series of prototype X-ray detectors.

Innovative software tool developed at ANSTO used at power stations to help maintain plant components and improve the efficiency of operations.

Research collaboration with University of Sydney focuses on a personalised approach to cancer treatment.

Research has demonstrated that internally generated neutrons could be used to effectively target micro-infiltrates and cancer cells outside of the defined treatment regions.

Mathematical insights explain inconsistencies in experimental data: pyrochlore transformation into defect fluorite or not?

With the screening of the popular HBO series about Chernobyl, we asked our Nuclear Analysis team for their insights on key differences between the reactor in the TV series, a Generation II RBMK power reactor and ANSTO’s state of the art research reactor OPAL.

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.

Researchers and industry partners from UNSW Australia, the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine, Children’s Cancer Institute and Inventia Life Sciences Pty Ltd have been awarded the 2021 ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology for their method to rapidly-produce 3D cell structures
