Nanocrystal self-assembly sheds its secrets
A new approach gives a real-time look at how the complex structures form.
Engineering in Elementary
The Next Generation Science Standards have raised the level of interest in and importance of integrating engineering into elementary science curriculum, making engineering-based learning activities more commonplace than ever before in the primary grades.
Surprising mechanism of an enzyme in a membrane
Many cellular processes, particularly intercellular signaling, require enzyme-catalyzed reactions to occur inside a cell membrane.
X-ray Pixel-Array-Detectors promise new capabilities when transferred into electron microscope
Congratulations go out to the Gruner and Muller groups for their research being highlighted on the cover of the recent edition of Microscopy and Microanalysis.
Princeton graduate student wins first-ever award for first publication
CHESS congratulates user and Princeton graduate student Geoffrey Purdum on the occasion of winning an award for the best first publication from a PhD student by the SABIC Corporation.
Upgrade of VBPMs at C-, F- and G-line
At CHESS, the X-ray position monitoring and position stabilization feedback by CESR is fully realized using CHESS’ video beam position monitors (VBPMs).
Fluorescence imaging at the MacCHESS A1 and F1 beamlines makes crystal centering easier
Macromolecules typically produce only small crystals; to observe diffraction from them (and determine the molecular structure) we need the intense, highly collimated beam from a synchrotron source.
