Congratulations to Dichtel winning MacArthur Fellowship
CHESS is proud and happy to congratulate user William Dichtel on his recent award of a MacArthur Fellowship for his “innovations in synthetic and supramolecular chemistry [that] hold promise for bringing a new class of nanostructured materials out of the lab and into daily use.”

Summer students fill research roles at CHESS
An important part of the mission of CHESS as a national user facility is its role training the next generation of students to fill roles in the varied fields in science, technology, engineering and math – the so-called STEM fields.
X-ray “Supercrystallography” helps the structural reconstruction of nanocrystal assembly from atomic to mesoscale
Synchrotron-based X-ray technique, called “supercrystallography”, takes the structural analysis of nanocrystal assembly to an unprecedented new height.
X-ray flourescence shines a light on earth science educators
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-invasive, non-destructive technique for elemental analysis utilized by scientists at CHESS and other institutions.
Collaboration on “self-seeding” optics for the SwissFEL X-ray source
Latest generation free-electron lasers (FEL) generate x-ray radiation by amplifying shot noise produced as electron pass through a very long undulator.
Summer down projects continue at Wilson Lab
Here are a few snapshots of our continued work here at Wilson Lab, as you may recall the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) occupied a small space down on the floor as you walked out to CHESS East.
NASA Early Career Faculty Award for CHESS user Joshua Choi
CHESS user Joshua Choi, an assistant professor at the University of Virginia, won a prestigious NASA Early Career Faculty Award for his project “Lightweight and Flexible Metal Halide Perovskite Thin Films for High Temperature Solar Cells.”
