Australia’s most high-tech CELLAR
The Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) congratulates researchers involved in the Cryogenic Experimental Laboratory for Low-background Australian Research (CELLAR).
The CELLAR will be a new facility within SUPL providing a high-tech cooling system called a dilution refrigerator. CELLAR introduces the potential to attract exciting new experiments and research collaborations that take advantage of the unique environment that SUPL provides, as well as the opportunity to further raise the STEM profile and local investment in regional Victoria.
