Cornell synchrotron receives up to $100M in NSF support
Arduous, year-plus-long scrutiny by the National Science Foundation (NSF) has found the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) rich in scientific discovery and exemplary in its use of government funds.
Emerging research suggests a new paradigm for "unconventional superconductors"
Superconductivity in so-called unconventional superconductors, for example copper-oxide, iron-arsenide and iron-selenide high-temperature superconductors, is nearly always found in the vicinity of another ordered state, such as antiferromagnetism, charge density wave (CDW), or stripe order.
Self-organized crystallinity paves the way to novel all-polymer solar cell
Bulk hetero junctions (BHJ) constitute a promising route for low-cost solar cells based on semiconducting polymers.
Low energy X-rays now available at C-line
CHESS C1 station has been modified to improve beam delivery for low energy x-ray experiments.

Bright light on a dreary winter's day
On a dreary February morning, students from The Science and Mathematics Saturday Academy Program visited the eXploration station at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source to participate in a series of make-and-take activities and tours highlighting the beauty and science of light.
Extraordinary Maia detector rocks x-ray imaging at CHESS
Over the course of two weeks this past March, scientists from three laboratories commissioned CHESS's most recent purchase, a 384-sensor, energy-dispersive detector known as "Maia".
