Tech Tuesday Forum for Innovative Manufacturers
TOPIC: USING NEUTRONS AND ELECTRONS TO STUDY THE MATTER(S) OF THE WORLD
The world of particle physics is often a distant one for many of us, with facilities like the Large Hadron Collider coming to mind. Associate Professor Tilo Söhnel will discuss how similar world-class technologies are accessible to us, right in our hemisphere – specifically a neutron reactor and particle accelerator located in Australia. Over the years, Tilo and and his colleagues have been applying their findings to a variety of materials in our daily lives, from biology and food, to fuel cells and batteries. With the facilities being available for hire, he will further consider the currently untapped commercial value that “beam time” can have for the future of many New Zealand industries.
