On April 26, CHESS members Joel Brock, Ernie Fontes, Louisa Smieska, and Mark Obstalecki attended the 2016 CNSF (Coalition for National Science Funding) Exhibition in Washington D.C.

If a 12 year-old child were to ask you to tell them the most important thing you do on a daily basis as part of your job, what would you say?

Development of a useful sensor with typical application in harsh environments is highly demanded. Pressure processing provides an easy and quick way to make the early discovery of sensor materials with newly manifested properties.

Chris Fromme, Cornell Molecular Biology & Genetics, has been awarded a prestigious Guggenheim fellowship for his work in structural biology.

It is well known that plants, like animals, must constantly regulate and transport nutrients to survive. For example, the leaves of many plant species begin life as net nutrient sinks: that is, they rely on carbohydrates and other nutrients transported from elsewhere in the organism.

The paramount goal of organic electronics is to achieve high mobility in organic transistors within solution-based coating methods that can be scaled up to meet industrial production conditions.

Even the cold Ithaca spring weather wasn’t enough to damp the excitement of the almost 50 physics teachers that attended the 2016 American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) spring conference, co-hosted by XraiseCornell, on Saturday April 2nd.

X-ray Raman spectroscopy (XRS) is an inelastic scattering method that allows detection of low energy (<3keV) spectroscopic signatures using high-energy x-rays, typically by exciting core electrons of low-Z elements such as carbon and oxygen.
