Bring our hands-on science into your classroom! The ANSTO Education Team offer quality STEM and STEAM education experiences delivered to primary schools in the St George and Sutherland Shire regions of Sydney.

ANSTO seeks candidates who are passionate about making a contribution to Australian society through supporting nuclear science and technology.

ANSTO physicist supports launch of new carbon ion therapy treatment service in Austria.

In part 1 of this two-part series, ANSTO scientists from across the organisation became film critics to review Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Oppenheimer, which explores the life of the director of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic weapon.

Sample environments, Data analysis and reduction on the Koala instrument.

Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed.

There has been an increasing pressure on construction industrial sector to utilise innovative materials that not only meet the requirements of ambitious architectural designs, but also reduce CO2 emissions.

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.

Modifications to promising novel non-fullerene small molecule acceptor in organic thin film for solar cells demonstrates improved power conversion efficiency.

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.

Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.

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.
