Summary
Real-time control and data analysis of remote synchrotron microprobe experiments. A Canadian-Australian collaboration to design and construct sister synchrotron microdiffraction fluorescence probes (mDFP) commenced in 2004. The Canadian mDFP will be available in the first half of 2006, at least two years prior to the sister facility at the Australian Synchrotron. The proposed project will extend this collaboration to develop a system for remote control of mDFP experiments, incorporating real-t ....Real-time control and data analysis of remote synchrotron microprobe experiments. A Canadian-Australian collaboration to design and construct sister synchrotron microdiffraction fluorescence probes (mDFP) commenced in 2004. The Canadian mDFP will be available in the first half of 2006, at least two years prior to the sister facility at the Australian Synchrotron. The proposed project will extend this collaboration to develop a system for remote control of mDFP experiments, incorporating real-time data analysis and 3D visualization. This system will enable Australian scientists to use the Canadian mDFP, and subsequently the Australian Synchrotron mDFP, from their home institutions. The resulting flexibility of scheduling and alleviation of downtime for travel will be particularly beneficial for industry users.Read moreRead less

Summary
Network for Advanced Materials for Engineering Applications. Advances in modern technology and a competitive manufacturing industry depend critically on new and improved materials. The pace of change is rapid, and many countries are taking steps to improve and coordinate developments. Australia has a very successful record of materials research and innovation and is developing a substantial infrastructure in the area.

Advances in modern technology and a competitive manufacturing industry depend critically on new and improved materials. The pace of change is rapid, and many countries are taking steps to improve and coordinate developments. Australia has a very successful record of materials research and innovation and is developing a substantial infrastructure in the area. However, the materials research community is scattered, and research effectiveness is sometimes lessened by a lack of critical mass. This network will bring together university, government and industry researchers, and promote collaborative research, access to each other's facilities, staff and student exchanges, improved access to existing infrastructure and coordinated planning for new acquisitions.Read moreRead less
