Abstract

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them ~ William Lawrence Bragg. Each day at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is an opportunity to do just that. The chance to see the world and play a role in shaping that world through the prisms of our science. To build on existing knowledge, discovered knowledge, shared knowledge, all offering profound insights into issues as fundamental as the deepest laws of nature through to the basic human factor of everyday issues including food, water and health. And it is because of those everyday issues that impact ordinary people that ANSTO exists. ANSTO scientists and their collaborators have and continue to discover new information about the way the world works ranging from biology and health through to physics and material science. These discoveries allow for new ways to approach healthcare, our environment and our safety. Through state-of-the-art facilities ANSTO and the international research community advance and contribute to knowledge of how the world works, at the atomic level
