Ultrafast dynamic tomography and x-ray based rheography facility (ARC LIEF project administered by The University of Sydney) (2025-2026)
Abstract
This project aims to enhance our understanding of materials science through advanced imaging technology. Central to this is acquiring a TESCAN DynaTOM, a unique MicroCT system for fast, detailed 2D/3D/4D imaging without moving the sample. This approach lets researchers observe materials' structural changes in real-time, offering insights into deformation, mass transport, and chemical reactions. Expected benefits include deeper knowledge of material behaviours essential for geosciences and manufacturing. Moreover, the project will support educational and research opportunities at the University of Sydney, partner universities, and nationwide, providing access to an advanced imaging platform.
