A photographic feast of physics
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so a hundred pictures must be worth some hundred-thousand words.
Cool, calm and collected
CESR team aims to lower beam emittance with Optical Stochastic Cooling
DNA to RNA - more ways than one
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).
Mapping lattice strain in 4H-Silicon Carbide by synchrotron double-crystal topography
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.
Pressure-induced fabrication of Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods
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.
A pioneer of scientific tools
Sol Gruner, known for developing x-ray detectors, is a toolmaker, tackling scientific problems and exploring the unknown.
RAW Power! MacCHESS software brings synchrotron-level data processing to the laptop and home laboratory
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.
CHESS-U update: Here come the hutches!
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.
