The Australian Synchrotron is a source of powerful X-rays and infrared radiation that can be used for a wide range of scientific and technical purposes. Synchrotron X-rays are millions of times brighter than those produced by conventional X-ray machines in laboratories and hospitals.

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has joined a team, lead by the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to install a high resolution monitoring system at ANSTO’s medical isotope production facility in Lucas Heights, Australia.

Atomic mechanism produces colossal cooling effect in new class of materials .

X-ray crystallography at the Australian Synchrotron contributed to major research findings.

Terahertz/Far Infrared beamlines assisted investigation into possible composition of lower atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan.

Today Dr Jenine McCutcheon from the University of Queensland’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences has been recognised for her outstanding research with the Australian Synchrotron's Stephen Wilkins Medal.

Tool developed for producing F-18 radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging.

ANSTO has provided supporting experimental evidence of a highly unusual quantum state, a quantum spin liquid (QSL), in a two-dimensional material.

The proof of concept for the approach used in the early development of the new gamma-ray imaging system has been published,

Recent catastrophic Australian bushfires produced extremely high levels of fine particle pollution.

An environmental study supported by a citizen science project at ANSTO and UNSW has brought  greater understanding of the movement of birds between all of Australia’s major water basins and the importance of the Murray-Darling River Basin.

A dedicated team of radiation specialists from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) are behind the successful detection and rapid retrieval of a missing radioactive source in outback Western Australia.

This week women in science from 16 countries came together like never before. Inspiring women, young and old, were the first to complete the W4NSEC (Women for Nuclear Science Education and Communication) program that is designed to support women who are wanting to improve their education and communication skills in nuclear science.

On the international stage amongst the leading nuclear nations of the world, Australians hold its own. This status has been earned by ANSTO’s seventy-year history of safe nuclear operations, the application of nuclear science and technology to benefit society and nuclear stewardship role in Australia.
