"This work forms the starting point to understanding the mechanisms of charge transport in ternary spinel systems."  

"Using CVD diamonds in X-ray monochromators enables affordable compact systems operable in a laboratory with conventional X-ray sources, under extreme conditions as high radiation heat load optics at synchrotrons, or, possibly, as compact remote X-ray instrumentation for planetary missions."

"The CHESS Users’ Meeting attracted a record number of 225 registered participants to the Cornell campus to look back at major milestones of the project and to discuss X-ray science enabled by the ambitious upgrade."

"These new X-ray data are creating a path forward for the development of new microstructurally sensitive failure criteria."

The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell University on Thursday $54 million to create CHEXS, The Center for High Energy X-ray Sciences. CHEXS will be a sub-facility of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, more commonly known as CHESS.

"Developing materials that exhibit superconductivity at room temperature for wide spread commercial use would allow a significant reduction in energy consumption throughout the power grid."

"By understanding how an essential enzyme is inactivated in an organism-specific manner, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of new anti-pathogenetic therapies."

As we reach the height of the summer, a group of students have been pursuing their own academic inquiries.
