A previously reported method involving standard recombinant DNA techniques and some novel design principles enabled a team of Cornell chemical engineers to make large quantities of functional integral membrane proteins simply and inexpensively – all without the use of harsh chemicals or detergents, which are typically used today.

The MaMaSELF program, short for Masters in Material Science Exploring Large-scale Facilities, is a two-year European Masters program in materials science, built off the framework of the Erasmus Mundus program that aims to teach the application of large scale facilities for the characterization and development of materials.

We have now completed our 7th BioSAXS Essentials training course! BioSAXS (Biological Small Angle X-ray Solution Scattering) is a highly popular technique for understanding the structure and behavior of biomolecules in solution, without the need for freezing or crystallization.

Fabrication of the first two CHESS-U hutches has begun at the Lansing, NY facility of ADC Inc.

An eight-hour van ride to Long Island did not deter Xraise from participating in the May 2017 joint National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS-II) and Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) User Meeting at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

If you are an engineering major at Cornell, there will be times that are hard. Maybe for you it’s the Statics and Mechanics of Solids class. Or it could be Introductory Quantum Mechanics. Maybe it’s the fact that everyone else in class seems to understand the material and you feel utterly lost. It could be three prelims in three days.

Transitions in an artist’s style, technique and subject matter are often an enduring source of inquiry and fascination. To those familiar with Pablo Picasso’s life, 1901 is well known as one such period of transition.

CHESS-U work on the CESR side is well into the pre-production phase. Most long lead items are on order and production work at Wilson lab is underway for several systems.
