Frequently asked questions about beamtime, accommodation and the user portal.
The Macromolecular Crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron (MX1 and MX2) are general purpose crystallography instruments for determining chemical and biological structures.
Overlaying a 360° x 90° radiation image onto a panoramic optical image of the scene, makes interpretation much easier. The spectroscopic detector at the heart of the imager enables the accurate visualisation and identification of sources across a broad energy range.
International researchers have used nuclear techniques at ANSTO - a centre for food materials science - to develop a methodology that could assist in the design of oleogel systems for food applications.
ANSTO will be participating in a new Industrial Transformation Training Centre established and funded by the Australia Research Council to advance the use of bioactive ingredients in Australia.
The shutdown of a nuclear reactor can be done manually by an operator following a well-established operating procedure.
ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.
The Multi-wavelength absorption black carbon instrument MABI can determine the concentration and source of black carbon pollution.
Testing at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science supports an action plan just published by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fibre-based food contact packaging in Australia by December 2023.
Below lists some useful programs for data reduction, search matching, analysis and structure visualisation of diffraction data.
Radioisotopes are widely used in medicine, industry, and scientific research. New applications for radioisotopes are constantly being developed.
Stay updated with the latest news and notifications impacting ANSTO's landmark research infrastructure in both Sydney and Melbourne.
MABI instrument can determine both the concentration and source of black carbon pollution in the atmosphere.

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.
There were many significant developments globally relating small modular reactor technologies technologies in the latter half of 2020.
