We present a radiation detector with single crystal synthetic diamond sensor which has CVD grown ultra-nanocrystalline electrical contacts.

The demolition phase of the CHESS-U upgrade project is complete, and the construction phase has commenced.  Crews have been working double shifts in order to meet the self-imposed deadline to bring beam back to CHESS.

Visiting students representing the next generation of physicists got a taste of life as a researcher during a pair of eight-week summer programs hosted by the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE).

The 2018 Summer Science Snapshot for Educators Program, co-hosted by Center for Bright Beams (CBB) and CHESS was held from July 24th-26th.

Recent advances by scientists representing 4 national labs, 3 countries and 4 universities are helping to answer long-held questions about a technologically important class of materials called relaxor ferroelectrics, which are often lead-based.

Christopher Flynn, a fourth year student majoring in Physics and Mathematics at Fort Lewis College, and a SUnRiSE student at Cornell this summer, is contributing to the design of microfluidic mixing chips which could significantly enhance our understanding of proteins and living cells.

Learn how one Cornell lab is becoming a leader of X-ray science and helping to make the world safer and more sustainable.

In a recent research paper published in Nature, a group led by physics professors David Muller and Sol Gruner claimed a world record for electron microscope resolution using a high-powered detector and a technique called ptychography.
