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.

Designed for those working with industrial gauges such as fixed radiation gauges incorporating gamma or neutron sources, portable moisture/density gauges, and borehole logging equipment incorporating radiation sources. ANSTO is a recognised leader in radiation safety training, delivering industry and regulator-approved courses for licences including S7, S10, S12, S30 & S35.

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.
