Japanese press release featuring work done at OPAL

Work done in part on our ECHIDNA high-resolution powder diffractometer has been featured in press releases by both J-PARC and KEK in Japan.  

The work is on "Discovery of a New Crystal Structure Family of Oxide-Ion Conductors NdBaInO4", and results from a collaboration between Tokyo Institute of Technology, Ibaraki University, the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute at the SPring-8 synchrotron, the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) and ANSTO, with James Hester representing ANSTO.  

These new materials have potential applications in the development of solid-oxide fuel cells, sensors, and electronic materials.
