Travel through space & time, to see the invisible Don’t miss the Australian Synchrotron Open Day. Sunday 13th October. Get access to Australia’s only synchrotron – including areas normally restricted to specialist scientists and engineers. The Australian Synchrotron accelerates electrons to almost the speed of light, to produce intensely bright light -- one million times brighter than the sun’s rays! The synchrotron light -- which ranges from infrared to hard x-rays -- is used to analyse a vast range of materials such as human tissue, plants, proteins, artefacts and minerals at the atomic scale. synchrotron.org.au/openday2013
