The complex engineering of scientific instruments is explored in this 'behind the scenes' look at the installation of frontends for two new beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron.

January 2021 saw the arrival of four shipping containers of radiation safety hutch panels for the first new Bright beamline, Micro-Computed Tomography (MCT). Installation commenced shortly thereafter with the manufacturer, Caratelli SAS, working in conjunction with Victorian-based company, Lycopodium Limited.

Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.

The first pilot project at the Australian Synchrotron takes place following a Memorandum of Understanding between nandin and Swinburne University of Technology and Design Factory Melbourne (DFM).

The nuclear medicine community has welcomed the Australian Government’s decision to provide $30 million in funding to ANSTO for the design of a new nuclear medicine manufacturing facility.

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) has elected Professor Andrew Peele, Director of ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron, to become a Fellow of the prestigious organisation.

A world-class national research facility that uses accelerator technology to produce a powerful source of light-X rays and infrared radiation a million times brighter than the sun.

Outstanding individuals and teams have been recognised for their outstanding work, innovation, excellence in the 2025 ANSTO Awards. 

The new Micro Computed Tomography (MCT) beamline is the first instrument to become operational as part of the $94 million Project BRIGHT program, which will see the completion of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron.

Consortium will map the 86 billion nerve cells, 100 trillion connections and neurotransmitters in the human brain.

NSTO’S major project to introduce eight new beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone with the delivery of ‘first light’ to the new MEX-1 beamline.

A 'Challenge-Based Innovation' platform at the nandin Innovation Centre is progressing as part of a funding package from the NSW Government and a Memorandum of Understanding with Swinburne University of Technology and Design Factory Melbourne (DFM).
