Dark-of-winter upgrade makes G-line shine
As the last run of 2015 wound down last December 7th, CHESS engineers Alan Pauling and Tom Krawczyk prepared to complete the assembly of two brand-new UHV chambers, along with their valuable cargo: newly-coated, internal-cooled synthetic multilayer monochromators for G-line.
Crystallography and solution scattering join forces in the study of antibiotic synthesis
Living cells are constantly producing proteins (polypeptides) by translating genetic sequences (messenger RNA) using the large molecular complex called the ribosome.
CHESS research & education shines at CNSF
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.
What is an Engineer?
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?
Pressure sensing by molecular nanocrystal
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.
CHESS user awarded Guggenheim Fellowship
Chris Fromme, Cornell Molecular Biology & Genetics, has been awarded a prestigious Guggenheim fellowship for his work in structural biology.
What happens when leaves go from sink to source?
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.
Knife-coated organic semiconductor blends with mobilities on par with single crystals
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.
