Did you know...
- we slow down time?
- we see the invisible?!
The Australian Synchrotron Open Day is a once-a-year opportunity to get access to Australia’s only synchrotron – including areas normally restricted to specialist scientists and engineers.
Self-guided tour brochures will help you on a journey through the National Centre for Synchrotron Science (NCSS) and around any or all of nine specialist beamlines. There will also be the ever-popular ‘Synchrotron science for dummies presentation’ and some fun activities for the kids.
The program of events (below) includes talks from our scientists and some of our key industry users.
With something for everyone, the Australian Synchrotron Open Day is sure to be an intriguing day out for the whole family.
