New technology to reduce research time
Scientists at Australia’s largest scientific research facility can now cut days and even weeks off their research time through the use of an innovative new technology.
Connected to one of the Australian Synchrotron’s research stations, the Maia X-ray detector can produce high definition images that show detail to one thousandth of a millimetre.
“This technology is a real advantage to scientists studying major diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s, not only because of its ability to see minute things in such great detail, but the speed at which it produces data,” said the Director of the Australian Synchrotron, Professor Keith Nugent.
“In science, time is in many ways a researcher’s worst enemy. With Maia, we can now obtain scientific results in a much shorter time frame and this means researchers can save time and money.”
