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.

At the heart of every fuel cell is a catalyst that controls how the cell converts fuel into energy. The better the catalyst, the more efficient, powerful and cost-effective the fuel cell.

CHESS proudly congratulates Howie Joress on his win of the 2017 Denver X-ray Conference (DXC) Jerome B. Cohen award for outstanding achievements in student research in x-ray analysis.

As part of Xraise’s initiative to provide high school teachers and educators with state of the art technology to use in their classroom, the outreach group has acquired two Bruker handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) devices for their Lending Library program.

A great challenge at many x-ray beamlines is to direct x-rays into in a very small, very clean footprint while maintaining high photon flux.
