Ultra small angle neutron scattering on Kookaburra is used to study the size and shape of objects of size 10 micrometres and below.

Collaborative research predicted the distortion and performance of metal parts made by laser deposition.

In collaboration with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the French International Space Agency (CNES), ANSTO scientists are undertaking research on the radiobiological effects of secondary particles that are created when radiation interacts with the shielding on the International Space Station.

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

ANSTO and the Embassy of Argentina in Australia proudly hosted an event commemorating the 15th anniversary of the opening of the Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL) multi-purpose nuclear reactor on 18 October.

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

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.

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.

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.
