ARGONNE, Ill. (March 21, 2007) — Argonne Director Robert Rosner discusses
science and accelerators with host Chris Clark on the "Conversation
Hour"
on 774
ABC radio in Melbourne, Australia.
Rosner was in Melbourne to discuss construction of the Clayton synchrotron
at the Monash
Centre for Synchrotron Science, Monash University
Argonne houses a synchrotron, the Advanced
Photon Source, which is the Western
Hemisphere's largest source of X-rays for research, and Argonne scientists
have been involved in the development of Australia 's synchrotron.
Rosner's background is in astrophysics, especially "evolution and dynamics
of magnetic fields in non-stellar contexts, such as in clusters of galaxies,
in galaxies themselves, and in the young universe."
Rosner's section of the astronomy and astrophysics department at the University
of Chicago goes by the name "Rosnerville." In it he and his colleagues
are looking into astrophysical fluid dynamics and magnetic fields in space,
using theoretical research, observations and computer modeling.
Argonne National Laboratory brings
the world's brightest scientists and engineers together to find exciting and
creative new solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology.
The nation's first national laboratory, Argonne conducts leading-edge basic
and applied scientific research in virtually every scientific discipline. Argonne
researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds of companies, universities,
and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific
problems, advance America 's scientific leadership and prepare the nation for
a better future. With employees from more than 60 nations, Argonne is managed
by UChicago
