DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Karyn Wilde (National Deuteration Facility\, ANSTO)\
 nDeuteration can provide contrast and improved resolution to assist invest
 igations into the relationship between molecular structure and function of
  molecules of both biological and synthetic origin. Molecular deuteration 
 of organic compounds and biomolecules increases options available in chara
 cterisation and complex structure function investigations using neutron sc
 attering and reflectometry\, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)\, mass spect
 rometry (MS) and other techniques and also creates functional materials wi
 th superior properties in life sciences\, pharmaceutical and advanced tech
 nology applications. \nThe National Deuteration Facility (NDF) at the Aust
 ralian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has the special
 ised expertise and infrastructure to deliver deuteration through both biol
 ogical and chemical molecular deuteration techniques to provide for a rang
 e of experimental and research applications that benefit from availability
  of custom deuterated molecules. The NDF has developed a suite of capabili
 ties supporting researcher and industry access to a diversity of molecules
 . Capabilities include production of isotopically labelled proteins (varia
 bly deuterated\, multiple-labelled - 2H\, 13C\, 15N) and cholesterol-*d45*
  through bacterial recombinant expression and bio-engineered yeast growth 
 respectively and catalysed 1H/2H exchange and chemical synthesis of a wide
  range of small organic molecules using tailored deuteration approaches to
  provide bespoke deuterated molecules generally unavailable commercially. 
 This includes a range of deuterated lipids\, unsaturated phospholipids (e.
 g. POPC and DOPC)\, surfactants\, ionic liquids\, fatty acids and detergen
 ts. Availability of these molecules widens the breadth of systems that can
  be investigated with applications across multiple research fields.\nAn ov
 erview and update on the NDF will be provided including details on the NDF
  User Program and modes of access\, capability advancements and brief high
 lights of research enabled through utilisation of deuterated molecules pro
 duced by the NDF.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/146/contrib

SUMMARY:15 Years of Brilliance at the Australian Synchrotron

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Michael James (ANSTO)\nThe Australia Synchrotron ach
 ieved first light in August 2006\, and since then has operated 10 individu
 al beamlines as part of Australia's largest standalone scientific research
  facility.  In a typical year\, the facility conducts up to 1000 individua
 l experiment\, and hosts more than 5000 User visits.  Although modest comp
 ared to international synchrotron facilities in terms of the size of our s
 torage ring\, our staffing levels and the number of beamlines\, the Austra
 lian Synchrotron's research community is one of the most productive in the
  world\; generating more than 650 peer-reviewed journal articles in 2020. 
  Over the past 15 years the Australian Synchrotron has supported the devel
 opment of the scientific careers of thousands of students\, researchers\, 
 and our staff.  This presentation celebrates some of the highlights in bea
 mline and technique development\, as well as showcasing trends in high imp
 act research outcomes from the Australian Synchrotron.\n\nhttps://events01

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jamie Schulz (ANSTO)\nThe Australian Centre for Neut
 ron Scattering (ACNS) utilises neutrons from Australia's multi-purpose res
 earch reactor\, OPAL\, to solve complex research and industrial problems f
 or Australian and international users via merit-based access and user-pays
  programs. Neutron scattering techniques provide the research community an
 d industry with unique tools to study the structure\, dynamics and propert
 ies of a range of materials\, helping scientists understand why materials 
 have the properties they do\, and helping tailor new materials.  \n\nAn u
 pdate will be given on the OPAL reactor and its neutron beam facilities\, 
 the status of the neutron beam instruments and supporting capabilities\, u
 ser program\, and future plans.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/eve
