Understanding molecular and materials structure in atomic detail is vital to a knowledge-based economy and a healthy society. The development of smart materials, nanotechnological devices, hydrogen storage materials, molecular switches, magnets and sensors, for example, depends on knowledge of three-dimensional atomic structure. Cures for illnesses such as SARS, AIDS and Alzheimer's disease and understanding the aging process depends on knowledge of biomolecular structure. The deployment and development of automation-enhanced remote access to structural instruments through the web will greatly enhance Australian structure-based research, and make this science accessible to the public.

了解分子和材料结构的原子细节是至关重要的知识经济和健康的社会。例如，智能材料、纳米技术设备、储氢材料、分子开关、磁体和传感器的开发取决于对三维原子结构的了解。 治愈SARS、艾滋病和阿尔茨海默病等疾病以及了解衰老过程都依赖于对生物分子结构的了解。通过网络部署和开发自动化增强的远程访问结构仪器将大大提高澳大利亚的结构为基础的研究，并使这门科学向公众开放。
