The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation hosts the Centre for Accelerator Science, a sovereign facility with light and heavy ion beams. The 10 MV ANTARES accelerator is equipped with one of the few Heavy Ion Nuclear Microprobes in the world, which has been upgraded with the unique External Beam Irradiation Facility (EBIF). EBIF has been actively used in the past few years for space radiation testing of electronics, advanced shielding materials, and living samples for life scien...

) Researchers developing new materials and devices that can withstand the harsh radiation environment in space are using the unique ANSTO's capability to simulate the effects of high-energy ion irradiation on the properties and performance of these materials and devices. "The Centre for Accelerator Science has a unique research instrument, the high energy heavy ion microprobe, which together with the ANTARES accelerator creates a 30m long microscope, for high-precision irradiation of el...

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, or DOE-SC, has awarded $529 million to continue world-leading nuclear science research at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. The new cooperative agreement provides $529,068,000 over five years to operate FRIB as a DOE-SC user facility to enable unprecedented discovery opportunities envisioned by a user community of 1,800 scientists, supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics.

Scientists at Australia’s only nuclear reactor operator run their expert eye over Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster film, Oppenheimer.

One nuclear expert says the film is unrealistic because it portrays quantum mechanics as ‘hard’
