This project aims to reveal the 3D nanostructure of disordered matter with x-rays for the first time. Existing x-ray scattering techniques for disordered structures currently provide limited, one-dimensional information only. The expected outcomes of the project include an enhanced new capability for the Australian Synchrotron and international x-ray laser facilities, and new insights into the microscopic origins of the properties of liquids and biological membranes. This should benefit research areas that use x-ray scattering to probe the nanostructure of materials for diverse applications such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and drug design.

该项目旨在首次利用 X 射线揭示无序物质的 3D 纳米结构。现有的无序结构 X 射线散射技术目前仅提供有限的一维信息。该项目的预期成果包括增强澳大利亚同步加速器和国际 X 射线激光设施的新能力，以及对液体和生物膜特性的微观起源的新见解。这应该有利于使用 X 射线散射来探测材料纳米结构的研究领域，以用于纳米技术、燃料电池和药物设计等多种应用。
