Our WOMBAT high-intensity powder diffractometer has now produced one hundred refereed research papers.
It is the second of OPAL's neutron beam instruments to reach this important milestone, following the ECHIDNA high-resolution powder diffractometer.
Please join us in congratulating WOMBAT's instrument scientists, past and present: Andrew Studer, Vanessa Peterson, Klaus-Dieter Liss, Margaret Elcombe and Helen Maynard-Casely; along with our technical staff and our users who make the samples and come to do their experiments with us.

Wombat can be used to study a range of materials including, novel hydrogen-storage materials for clean energy storage of the future, molecules for drug-delivery systems, negative-thermal-expansion materials (materials that contract upon heating) and materials for fusion reactors. |
