BioSAXS Essentials 7 training course now complete!
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.
CHESS-U hutches take shape
Fabrication of the first two CHESS-U hutches has begun at the Lansing, NY facility of ADC Inc.
Shedding new light on secondary science programs: A visit to Brookhaven National Laboratory
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.
Meet the Millers, a Cornell Engineering father-daughter team
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.
Synchrotron-based XRF mapping helps elucidate Picasso’s Blue Period techniques
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.
CESR CHESS-U activities: Production of magnet assemblies
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.
The Real Thing: D-line sample robot serves first user group
Combinatorial thin film research can comprise hundreds of samples grown with slightly different compositions or processing conditions.
Lateral or vertical — that is the question!
In a Forum Article, which was recently published online in the journal “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” [1], Anatoly V. Berezkin and coworkers attempted to figure out what happens when you prepare thin films from two homologous diblock copolymers differing only in overall length.
