2013 has been another very productive year for the Bragg Institute. As of mid-December, the Institute has published a total of 187 refereed journal articles, with a number featured on magazine covers.
In addition, our staff gave a total of 27 invited talks at major national and international conferences in 5 continents.
To date, 336 refereed articles from the new OPAL instruments have been published, 104 of them in this calendar year.
