Using micro-XRF imaging capability at F3 beamline, the research group led by Olena K. Vatamaniuk has linked the role of the micronutrient copper with pollen fertility and seed/grain yield.

The standard X-ray protein crystallography experiment requires a single protein crystal specimen that is large enough to collect a “complete” data set, that is, to collect all the available diffraction peaks to a given resolution.

Sometimes the hunt for new kinds of fundamental particles doesn't take place inside high-energy particle colliders, but rather in the low-energy degrees of freedom of exotic quantum materials. 

As part of a new integrated approach to outreach, education, and public engagement, CHESS has an exciting new initiative that achieves multiple broader impact objectives while simultaneously making our lab more inviting to visitors and partners.

Over six days this past September, two new hutches were installed in the L0 experimental hall of Wilson Lab.

As part of the mission of InSitμ@CHESS, the ONR-funded center focused on developing new High Energy X-ray Diffraction (HEXD) users and methods, the staff has developed and made available an online course for novice X-ray users with backgrounds in engineering.

Parallel to the CHESS-U project performing necessary equipment upgrades here at Wilson Lab, the CHESS website was also in the shop for a makeover.

The assembly of colloidal nanocrystal building blocks into ordered superlattices presents many scientifically interesting and technologically important research challenges to create programmable matter from “crystals-of-crystals”.
