Today The Australian ran a story entitled “Fears for indigenous lands as foreign nuclear waste headed our way”, 18 September 2018. ANSTO was not contacted in relation to the article, but can provide the following information in response which can be attributed to a spokesperson.

The technique of using radiocarbon to establish the age of artefacts and other samples as well as to provide insights on climate, has just been updated with the publication of the new radiocarbon curves.

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

Early research at ANSTO has contributed to development of innovative submicron particle encapsulation technology.

Two ANSTO environmental scientists are part of a large team led by the Australian National University (ANU), who have received an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant to investigate how environmental change and human activities since industrialisation have impacted the transport and deposition of toxic metals on the south coast of Australia, Tasmania, and remote Southern Ocean islands.

The release of the Oppenheimer film, the story of the director of the Manhattan Project,  has prompted many people to go online and search for an explanation of the difference between fission and fusion, two fundamental scientific concepts.

ANSTO is participating in a major project to learn more about an important component of the atmosphere, the hydroxyl radical.

Highlights of the Energy Materials Project.

Your students can analyse real research data from ANSTO scientists.

Your efforts are helping better manage our wetlands and waterways, and protect the precious wetland birds that rely on them.

Dharawal educator Fran Bodkin has spent a good part of her eighty plus years, studying or sharing information about the therapeutic and nutritional properties of traditional indigenous plants and wildlife.

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.

A study has provided insight into copper sulfate pentahydrate and could give clues to how other hydrated minerals change under the pressures within planetary environments
