Australasia was very well represented at this weeks International Conference on Neutron Scattering in Knoxville, Tennessee, with a total of six invited talks.
The conference is a follow-on to the highly successful ICNS2005 conference held in Sydney. In addition to the invited talks (two from the Bragg Institute, two from past or future institute staff, and two from AINSE's research fellows), there are a further 8 talks involving ANSTO staff, 5 talks from other Australian institutions and a total of 22 Australian poster presentations.
Some of our work was highlighted in the Materials Research Society's online synopses of the conference, particularly talks on Monday by Alison Edwards (Towards High Impact, High Throughput Chemical Crystallography With Neutrons) and Vanessa Peterson (Negative Thermal Expansion in a Coordination Framework), and a talk on In-Situ Electric-Field Studies of Ferroelectric Ceramics Using Time-Resolved Neutron Diffraction on WOMBAT on Thursday by one of our users/collaborators Prof. Jacob Jones (University of Florida), featuring work he recently performed on our WOMBAT high-intensity powder diffractometer.
