Science At The Speed Of Light
The Australian Synchrotron accelerates
electrons around a circle the size of the
MCG at nearly the speed of light to
create a light beam one million times
brighter than the sun. This light is used
to examine a wide range of matter from
our food to famous paintings and even
the flu virus. On Monday 30 March from
2pm – 4pm the Australian Synchrotron
will be inviting the public to take part in
free fun talks and a tour of the synchrotron. Children must be accompanied by
an adult. Registration is required at
