Louisa Smieska, a former Post-Doc at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), explains how chemistry and art brought her to become a synchrotron scientist.

New York State Congressman Paul Tonko took a tour of CHESS on Tuesday, November 1st, meeting with staff, users and local companies that will be impacted by CHESS-U, the upgrade that will optimize the accelerator for x-ray production.

A team led by researchers at the Materials Department University of California, Santa Barbara, working at CHESS C1 station and the Advanced Photon Source, have revealed a hidden, disordered dimer state in the electron-doped bilayer spin-orbit Mott insulator Sr3Ir2O7 [1].

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have become the most promising next generation solar cell material due to inexpensive processing and high efficiency.

Ithaca area middle school students now have an exciting new way—3D, kinesthetic, and visual—to experience topography and isolines in their science classrooms, thanks to our outreach team at Xraise.

The ability to precisely control every aspect of a material, even at the nanoscale, is of critical importance in a host of applications.

When CESR first came online in 1979, the accelerator was optimized for high-energy physics (HEP), with a design based on the "FODO" concept: one unit cell was comprised of a horizontally-focusing quadrupole, a dipole, a vertically-focusing quadrupole, and another dipole.

Feedback gathered by the Xraise staff from local elementary school teachers during the past year has indicated that more educators would facilitate open-ended engineering projects in their classrooms if they were supplied with the materials needed to conduct such activities.
