After 8 years of an open user program, the high-resolution powder diffractometer ECHIDNA has reached a milestone of 250 journal papers with high-profile results published in Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Angewandte Chemie, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Physical Review Letters and other top journals. The publications cover a very broad range of disciplines and topics from fundamental magnetic structural studies to quantitative phase analysis of industrial and geological samples with the materials science, chemistry, and physics communities being almost equally represented.
This success was possible only through a combination of exceptional OPAL reactor availability and reliability, ACNS staff dedication, and of course the efforts of the many ECHIDNA users from Australia and 33 other countries.
