Synchrotrons generate intense electromagnetic radiation across the spectrum from microwaves to hard X-rays. The radiation is used to explore molecular structure and composition and in creating microdevices. Synchrotrons have been used in research including making better chocolate, faster jet engines, more absorbent nappies, anti-flu drugs and other medicines, advances in high resolution X-ray imaging and therapy, and even solving the mystery of Beethoven’s deafness and death.

The site visit will include information on what the Australian Synchrotron is and what it will be used for, and an overview of radiation safety in the facility by the Radiation Safety Officer.
