Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are materials that can “remember” their original form after undergoing deformation. They also exhibit superelasticity (i.e. they have ability to recover unusually large strains).

Production of CESR accelerator components for CHESS-U is well underway.

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.
