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 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.
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.
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.
