First-ever epitaxial bismuth platinum pyrochlore thin-films grown at CHESS
Araceli Gutiérrez-Llorente, a visiting scientist from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain, and a team of researchers from the energy materials center at Cornell (emc2) and CHESS, have produced the first-ever epitaxial Bi2Pt2O7 thin-films.

In search of the dead zone: using fish to monitor low oxygen marine environments
Longtime CHESS user Karin E. Limburg has been bringing challenging problems in marine biology to CHESS for many years.

Elementary schoolers stretch their minds at CHESS
Last fall, 4th and 5th graders at Beverly J. Martin Elementary School stretched their minds with engineering and design, finishing each academic week with a high-engagement science experience offered by Xraise Cornell, the K-12 outreach team for CLASSE.

Novel video beam position monitor for canted undulators at CHESS
X-ray beam position monitors are used on all X-ray beam lines at CHESS for beam stabilization, characterization and diagnostics. The most commonly used beam position monitors at light sources today are the photo-electron (P.E.) monitors.

New 'knobs' can dial in control of materials
Designing or exploring new materials is all about controlling their properties. In a new study, Cornell scientists offer insight on how different “knobs” can change material properties in ways that were previously unexplored or misunderstood.

CHESS user Stebner awarded NSF Career Award
CHESS is pleased to congratulate one of our new principal investigators for 2014, Professor Aaron Stebner from the Colorado School of Mines, for being the recent recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Career award to study anisotropy and asymmetry of shape memory alloys and stainless steels using far field X-ray diffraction.

G-line shatters CHESS flux records, prepares for Summer 2015 optics upgrade
Thanks to the installation of two canted undulators last November*, both G1 and G3 have recently achieved best-ever photon fluxes in the last several months, despite temporary operation at reduced current.

Role of spectator ion revealed for the processing of halide perovskites
We often consider bystanders and spectators unimportant, however in chemical reactions they can make a difference, as shown in a recent paper by David Moore and coworkers [1], that just came out in Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
