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.

Scientists have observed the real-time strain relaxation response of asymmetric tilt boundaries at the Bi/GaAs (110) interface, which could improve the production of high-quality epitaxial thin films for modern electronic devices.

Conducting research at a world class facility is no doubt a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any undergraduate student. By combining that research experience with meaningful peer-learning opportunities and dynamic outreach activities, a memorable summer of science inevitably occurs.

The CHESS-U upgrade is underway. Associate Director Ernie Fontes explains how the team is already making progress, and looking forward to bringing in some new equipment.

Daguerreotypes, the earliest form of commercial photography, are made of silver-mercury image particles on silver-coated copper plates. These exquisitely detailed images can suffer from tarnish of the silver over time, obscuring the original photograph.

During just the final half year of D-line operation in 2018, D-line users have published 19 articles in renowned journals on ex-situ and in-situ studies of soft materials.

Join John Buettler, a machinist, as he shares the passion he brings to the job of helping to construct the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS).

In conjunction with the Users’ Meeting, CHESS also hosted the 2nd X-ray Emission Spectroscopic Methods Workshop.
