Three new federal grants were announced to support manufacturing and nuclear technologies.

A large international research team led by Academia Sinica in Taiwan investigated how heat is transferred in an advanced thermoelectric material made with germanium (Ge) and tellurium (Te) and doped with antimony (Sb). These devices are used to power space probes such as the Mars Curiosity Rover.

ANSTO has a range of capabilities and expertise to support aerospace and space research.

ANSTO User Meeting 2021 - Speakers

Soft x-rays are generally understood to be x-rays in the energy range 100-3,000 eV. They have insufficient energy to penetrate the beryllium window of a hard x-ray beamline but have energies higher than that of extreme ultraviolet light.

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

Micro-Particle Induced X-ray Emission (µPIXE) is used to construct elemental maps that show variations of an element's concentration across the sample surface.

Phenomenon predicted by Nobel Prize recipient

Kowari, a residual stress diffractometer, can be used for ‘strain scanning’ of large engineering components as large as 1000 kilograms.

Collaboration investigates a promising new nanoparticle for potential use in combination with other therapies for brain cancer

Accelerator technique used in pioneering biomaterials research led by the University of Sydney.

ANSTO is interested finding students to collaborate on Generation IV reactor systems.

Billions of tonnes of iron ore tailings are generated each year from the mining industry. Converting these toxic tailings into soil-like materials which can develop and sustain plant and microbial communities is critical for mine site remediation and improved environmental outcomes.

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.
