The first demonstration of reversible symmetry lowering phase transformation with heating.

On the international stage amongst the leading nuclear nations of the world, Australians hold its own. This status has been earned by ANSTO’s seventy-year history of safe nuclear operations, the application of nuclear science and technology to benefit society and nuclear stewardship role in Australia.

A large international team has provided an understanding of how nanoscale interactions affect the thermal stability of a type of next generation organic solar cells.

Planning is now underway for a second repatriation project which is scheduled to take place in 2022. Find out more information.

ANSTO conducts and enables research to address some of Australia’s and the world’s most challenging environmental problems.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from aluminium to to uranium.

On the 9th of December 2022, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology provided his Statement of Expectations to ANSTO.

The X-ray Fluorescence Nanoprobe beamline undertakes high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy, elemental mapping and coherent diffraction imaging – providing a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy.

The mining industry is set to benefit from a new Australian capability that uses a nuclear scanning technique to detect the presence of precious metals and strategic minerals in a core sample.

Professor Peter Lay from the University of Sydney has been awarded the Australian Synchrotron Lifetime Contribution Award by ANSTO, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation.

An international team led by scientists at City University of Hong Kong has found flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) with one-dimensional channels that acts as a “molecular trapdoor” to selectively adsorb gases, such as carbon dioxide, in response to temperature and pressure changes.

ANSTO maintains national capabilities in radionuclide metrology, the measurement and detection of ionising radiation, radioanalytical chemistry and nuclear forensics to support industry, government and scientific users.

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.
