Peter Kabokov will continue work that will contribute to defence industry

Over the next week, ANSTO will be joining the festivities of National Science Week with an exciting lineup of activities that celebrate science and technology

Year 11 STEM student and aspiring physicist was given the opportunity of a lifetime to tour ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus and meet some of Australia’s top researchers.

ANSTO to contribute to research on Next Gen Nuclear Energy Systems

Defence requirements push your technology, we can help. ANSTO is home to some of Australia’s most important landmark research infrastructure – more than $1.3bn of it.  Our unique capabilities are used by thousands of Australian researchers from industry and academia every year.

Just under 250 schools in Australia and one school in Malaysia will participate in a series of science-based competitions during to coincide with National Science Week in 2024.

Environmental scientists at ANSTO have been undertaking research to gain a better understanding of the potential impact of contaminants on decommissioned offshore oil and gas infrastructure since 2017.

Health researchers have developed a new method for producing PET radiotracers.

ANSTO's Minerals team provides consultancy, process development and research services to the mining and minerals processing industries.

ANSTO commenced an aerosol sampling program thirty years ago this week to characterise these pollutants and ultimately, identify their sources, which has taken it to the forefront of environmental monitoring of this type in Australia and the region.

Scientists from UNSW and ANSTO have characterised the structure of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonites, and nitrides (MXenes) materials, that could be used as a lightweight fire-retardant filler and in energy storage devices.

Since 1962, the United Uranium Scholarship has helped promising young scientists in the field of nuclear energy extend their knowledge and expertise. In 2022, scholarships were awarded to several ANSTO researchers, including Phil Sutton.

In April 15, 1953, Australia entered the nuclear science arena, when the Atomic Energy Act came into effect. The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) followed and in 1987 the AAEC evolved into the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) as it’s known today.

Fish farming is increasing globally to provide an affordable source of protein and income security for local communities. Joshua's research project aims to optimise production of tilapia to enhance food and nutritional security in PNG.

On behalf of ANSTO thank you for your interest in our tours. We hope your visit to ANSTO will be both enjoyable and informative.
