The sap extracted from Sugar Maple trees, is used to produce maple syrup. There are many conflicting theories and an absence of experimental evidence, regarding the mechanisms involved in maple sap exudation.

Using the theory of compressed sensing technology, a team of physicists and scientists invented and developed the CORIS360® platform imaging technology. Compressed sensing imaging can generate an image with far fewer samples compared with traditional imaging techniques.

Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

Bushfires heat soil to extreme temperatures and this causes oxidation of chromium to a highly toxic and carcinogenic form.

Australia is leading an agriculture project in the Asia and Pacific region, in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology for Asia and the Pacific (RCA) to progress Atoms4Food.

The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.

Think Science! 2025 Summary and results

Access to a ‘window into the cell’ with University of Wollongong cryogenic electron microscope at ANSTO.

Primary students across Australia were invited to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia for our 2020 Shorebirds Competition. In response to COVID-19, and the changes to children’s learning environments, we opened the competition early and also included categories for individual children to enter, as well as school children.

Contributing to research that strengthens the defence of Australia

ANSTO provides access to specialised facilities and capabilities by application. Please ensure that you contact the relevant ANSTO scientist for advice before submitting a proposal.

The International Synchrotron Access Program (ISAP) is administered by the Australian Synchrotron and is designed to assist Australian-based synchrotron users to access overseas synchrotron related facilities.
