An Advanced Computed Tomography Facility - high capacity and high resolution for dynamic studies in porous and granular materials.

在3D中表征复杂材料是一门新兴学科，它正在推动新材料的设计概念，并帮助理解现实世界材料的属性。澳大利亚国立大学/新南威尔士大学的合作在这一新兴学科中开发了一个国际公认的项目，并成功地将该技术应用于石油和天然气行业、地下水修复、组织工程、骨质疏松症的医疗诊断、颗粒包装和新材料设计。本应用程序将使合作伙伴能够研究更多的系统并在3D中成像材料的动力学。这将大大扩大这项新技术的影响和应用范围。

Characterising complex materials in 3D is an emerging discipline which is driving design concepts for new materials and assists in understanding properties of real world materials. The ANU/UNSW collaboration has developed an internationally recognized program in this emerging discipline and successfully applied the technology to applications in the oil and gas industry, groundwater remediation, tissue engineering, medical diagnosis of osteoporosis, granular packing and the design of new materials. The present application will give the collaboration the ability to study a larger number of systems and to image the dynamics of materials in 3D. This will significantly broaden the impact and scope of the applications of this new technology.
