The best behind the neutron beam: Awards announced
Four annual awards in neutron scattering were announced at Australian Neutron Beam Users Group (ANBUG) and AINSE Neutron Scattering Symposium (AANSS) to individuals with strong links to ANSTO
Promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater
An Australian-led international research team, including a core group of ANSTO scientists, has found that doping a promising material provides a simple, effective method capable of extracting uranium from seawater.
Meet an expert
Choose from our list of research topics and let your students lead a 30 minute Q&A session with our ANSTO experts.
Highlights - Aerosol Sampling
ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.
Beamtime Guide - XFM
Beamtime Guide on the X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.
Travel Funding
ANSTO may provide travel and accommodation support to successful grant applicants from AINSE member organisations. Travel funds granted are to be used solely to cover the majority of the cost to travel to Sydney.
Successfully navigating the challenges of replacing a component in a nuclear reactor
The installation of a cold neutron source (CNS), a component that reduces the energy and speed of the neutrons from a research reactor for use in scientific instruments, was successfully completed in September 2024.
Nuclear techniques confirm rare finding that crocodile devoured a baby dinosaur
Role at ANSTO
Kookaburra - Ultra small angle neutron scattering
Ultra small angle neutron scattering on Kookaburra is used to study the size and shape of objects of size 10 micrometres and below.
Ancient foods provide clues to past rainfall
Research has helped build a record of rainfall during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, and shed light on the strategies of Indigenous Australians to cope with a changing landscape.
Bilby - Small Angle Neutron Scattering
The instrument is very well suited for the study of kinetic effects, like relaxation following a chemical reaction, or external impulses like mechanical deformation, an electric or magnetic field.
New method PET radiotracers
Health researchers have developed a new method for producing PET radiotracers.
Powerhouse Museum used powerful non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques to gain information about significant Aboriginal cultural belongings
A number of sophisticated non-invasive nuclear and accelerator techniques were used to provide information about the origin and age of an Australian Aboriginal knife held in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum.
Medium Energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline (MEX-1 and MEX-2)
The Medium Energy- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines will provide access to XANES and EXAFS data from a bending magnet source, optimised for cutting-edge applications in biological, agricultural and environmental science in an energy range that is not currently available at the Australia Synchrotron.
