Important Information

Australian Synchrotron Open Day

From researching human cells to famous paintings, fossils to advanced electronic devices, the work done at the Australian Synchrotron is helping to build a brighter future for all Australians. Shine a bright light on an object and you can see it more clearly. Shine intensely bright synchrotron light and you can see objects in astonishing detail, right down to the smallest atoms!

The light created at the Australian Synchrotron is about a million times brighter than the sun. This brilliant light can be used to assemble tiny machines that would fit into the eye of a needle, improve cancer detection, and develop new drugs to fight malaria.

On Sunday 20th October 2019, you will have a rare chance to go behind the scenes of this state-of-the-art facility and experience these scientific wonders first-hand. ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) would also like to provide students from Syndal South Primary School that attend the event with a free branded educational gift. Book your free tickets now at https://2019synchrotronopenday.eventbrite.com.au and make sure to mention the name of your school to be eligible for the gift.

The Australian Synchrotron is located at 800 Blackburn Rd, Clayton.
