New undulators developed and tested at CHESS
The CHESS Compact Undulator (CCU) program started several years ago with the development of Delta undulators for an ERL, culminating with performance tests of new undulators and x-ray optics this past Fall at A2.
J. Y. Peter Ko: Hands-on experience makes an x-ray optics expert
While he has never taken any formal courses in "synchrotron beamline science," Jun Young Peter Ko has worked on projects over the past 10 years that were clearly moving him towards expertise in the field.

Nanoparticle networks' design enhanced by theory
For close to two decades, Cornell scientists have developed processes for using polymers to self-assemble inorganic nanoparticles into porous structures that could revolutionize electronics, energy and more.
Novel white beam position monitor with a smart camera employing diamond luminescence
At CHESS, we use almost exclusively video based beam position monitors (VBPMs) to monitor and characterize the white beam coming down each beam line[1-3].
