X-ray Nano-scale Coherence Facility

澳大利亚正在迅速发展成为x射线成像的世界领先者。这一立场得到了领先研究小组的支持，最近还得到了澳大利亚同步加速器的发展的支持。这个项目将填补澳大利亚研究人员实验能力中一个重要的缺失环节——一个可以提供纳米级x射线源的灵活设备。这种增强的能力将导致相干成像方法的新发展。这些新方法将用于生物系统的研究，从而导致更好的药物设计，也将用于材料的研究，从而导致更强、更轻的成分。

Australia is rapidly developing into a world leader for x-ray imaging. This position has been supported by leading research groups and more recently by the development of the Australian Synchrotron. This project will fill a vital missing link in the experimental capability of Australian researchers - a flexible facility that can provide a nanoscale x-ray source. This enhanced capability will lead to new developments in coherent imaging methods. These new methods will be used in the study of biological systems, leading to better drug design as well as in the study of materials, leading to stronger and lighter components.
