25.01.2022 We're now taking bookings for Open day! On Sunday 20 October 2019 you will have a rare chance to go behind the scenes of this state-of-the-art facility and experience scientific wonders first-hand. From human cells to advanced electronic devices, research at the Australian Synchrotron is helping to build a brighter future for all Australians. https://www.ansto.gov.au/wh/australian-synchrotron-open-day

24.01.2022 Three Australian science teachers are off to Geneva, Switzerland after winning positions on the International High School Program at CERN - The first stop was o...ur very own Australian Synchrotron today! Sydney teacher, Paul Looyen, Rachel Alison Schnitzerling from Brisbane and Coffs Harbour’s Chris Bormann were selected by ANSTO and the Australian Science Teachers Association, (ASTA) to attend the programme. https://www.ansto.gov.au//australian-science-teachers-off-

24.01.2022 Congratulations to Latrobe University scientists who used our MX beamline to understand how a protein in a tobacco plant can target and destroy microorganism responsible for a dangerous infection. Discovery could lead to a new class of antibiotics. http://www.synchrotron.org.au//1035-protein-found-in-tobac

21.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and a new innovative 3D imaging technique using radiation from the Australian Synchrotron has the potential to improve ...the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. The technique is expected to be tested on the first patients at the Australian Synchrotron by 2020. http://bit.ly/2ICe1Qy See more

21.01.2022 Our macromolecular crystallography beamlines, which are used to determine the structure of proteins, are available to structural biologists researching #COVID19. Potential users can contact the user office: https://www.ansto.gov.au//user-guide-mel/melbourne-access

20.01.2022 The development of the smallest heterogeneous particles singleatom catalysts (SACs) supported on carbon nanotubes has opened up the possibility of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO. A large collaboration led by Curtin University used two of our beamlines to characterise this promising material http://bit.ly/2rboTxh

19.01.2022 Our MX2 beamline was used to help determine the crystal structure of key proteins in this research by Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.

15.01.2022 Happy International Women's Day! We recently featured some of the women at ANSTO who help us improve human health, build industries and protect the environment. #InternationalWomensDay https://careerswithstem.com.au/smashing-stereotypes-in-nuc/

14.01.2022 If you're missing our open day today or just curious how the Synchrotron works. There's a virtual tour / explainer of the Synchrotron on the ANSTO XR app > Download the app and see how synchrotron light generated from super accelerated electrons can give scientists x-ray vision.

08.01.2022 Looking forward to celebrating the power of light-based research to improve our world

06.01.2022 This tree is not there to add green to the space, it is being positioned by a robot for advanced imaging by our IMBL instrument. Western Sydney University has just published a study in Nature on the triggers of tree mortality. bit.ly/2Ncdero
