Information encoded in our genes controls how we live and grow. As part of this complex process, DNA is transcribed to RNA, one "letter" (nucleotide) at a time, by an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP).

Just out in Journal of Electronic Materials is a novel strain mapping study of crystalline Silicon Carbide, a material widely used as a substrate for thin film electronics.

Using pressure rather than chemicals, a joint research team of Brown and Cornell Universities combined their strengths and reshaped nanoparticles into highly monodispersive Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods.

Sol Gruner, known for developing x-ray detectors, is a toolmaker, tackling scientific problems and exploring the unknown.

Since its introduction by Søren Skou (Nielsen) in 2010, the BioXTAS RAW software has been a familiar interface to the many biomedical scientists collecting data at CHESS beamlines in recent years.

Preparations for the arrival of the initial two CHESS-U hutches are well under way. The completed structure is now disassembled, waiting for CHESS riggers to arrive and bring to Wilson lab starting on September 25.

On July 25th and 26th, CHESS co-hosted the seventh annual Summer Science Snapshot for Educators Program in the eXploration station at Wilson Lab for ten middle school educators from the New York State areas of Syracuse, Tully, and Ithaca.

MacCHESS crossed a new threshold in June 2017 with international data collection. Normand Cyr collected data at CHESS beamline F1 remotely from the D'Avanzo lab at the University of Montreal in Quebec, Canada.
