The National Science Foundation, NSF, supports the Center for High-Energy X-ray Sciences at CHESS (CHEXS at CHESS) and operates beamlines optimized for the structural characterization of quantum materials, structural metals and biological systems, as well as X-ray spectroscopy of systems ranging from enzymes to energy materials.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) and New York State (through NYSTAR) jointly support X-ray facilities for macromolecular crystallography and small angle scattering (MacCHESS) to understand the structure and function of the building blocks of life.
The Materials Solutions Network at CHESS (MSN-C) is funded by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) and provides dedicated access to X-ray beamlines for Air Force and other Department of Defense materials researchers enabling breakthroughs in materials and designs for military components.
