Around 1960, Max Dupain photographed two scientists at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission examining the microstructure of materials with an electron microscope. At the same site today, ANSTO continues that work with neutron and ion beams, revealing more than ever.

A research collaboration by Prof Mark Rutland of KTH Royal Institute of Technology & Gustavo Luengo of L'Oréal used our expertise and facilities to empower consumers to help achieve responsible consumption. Made possible by the Australian National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy

World Environment Day is about the signals the Earth is sending. ANSTO scientists read those signals: coral cores, cave stalagmites, aquifer water, Cape Grim air. Nuclear tools, since 1960. https://ansto.info/4ojkF21 #WorldEnvironmentDay #NowForClimate

This Earth Day, we're recognising science that helps us understand our planet. Antarctica may feel remote, but research there gives us insight into what is happening to our climate. ANSTO contributes nuclear and isotopic expertise to programs like @arcsaef.bsky.social. https://ansto.info/3OztIhK
