Professor Eddy Arnold elected as 2014 American Crystallographic Association Fellow
Eddy Arnold, Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University, and Resident Faculty Member at the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM), was recently elected as a Fellow of the American Crystallographic Association (ACA).
DAVES: the new x-ray emission spectrometer
CHESS scientist Ken Finkelstein and engineers Aaron Lyndaker and Tom Krawczyk have just completed a unique, high resolution spectrometer for x-ray fluorescence studies.
G-line: Same optics, new source, more flux!
As of October 2014, the three CHESS experimental stations known as G-line joined A1 and A2 in becoming among the first undulator-fed beam lines at CHESS.
CHESS tackles big data
Starting last October, the CLASSE IT group has been commissioning a new data acquisition network with high-speed low-latency connections from the CHESS beamlines to over 130 terabytes of redundant disk arrays dedicated to the storage of CHESS x-ray data.
Shiny new buttons at "A"
The CHESS A-Line controls and safety systems have been upgraded to a modern PLC based system.
A2: Out with the wigglers; in with the undulators
The CHESS West wiggler source was removed over the summer. In its place are two custom 1.5m CHESS Compact Undulators which now feed the A-line/G-line endstations.
Crystallography at A1: new detector for a new beam
A Pilatus3 6M pixel array detector has replaced the Q-210 CCD detector in the A1 hutch.
Nanometer-scale chemical reactors based on binary nanocrystal superlattices
Imagine an octahedron inside a cube and then let’s put spheres on the corner of the cube. Now the octahedron is well enclosed inside the cube and also well-separated from octahedra in adjacent cubic unit cells.
