Australian Synchrotron

What is synchrotron light?

Synchrotron light is the electromagnetic radiation emitted when electrons, moving at velocities close to the speed of light, are forced to change direction under the action of a magnetic field.

Radiocarbon dating

Radiocarbon dating is a well-known method for determining the age of materials up to the age of approximately 50,000 years.

Seabird feathers

Advanced imaging reveals unusual, unseen patterns in seabird feathers.

BioSAXS

Biological small angle X-ray scattering beamline (BioSAXS)

The Biological Small Angle X-ray Scattering beamline will be optimised for measuring small angle scattering of surfactants, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. BioSAXS combines combine a state-of-the-art high-flux small angle scattering beamline with specialised in-line protein purification and preparation techniques for high-throughput protein analysis.

Investigating Ozone

Ozone in the upper atmosphere is a crucial shield of UV, but ozone at surface levels is a respiratory irritant and health hazard. 

Students investigate surface-level ozone concentrations in the air around Liverpool, NSW, using descriptive statistical analysis, a univariate analysis and a bivariate analysis to explore the data. Students also investigate the relationship between ozone concentration and certain pollutant gases, as well as the effect of temperature.
