Cornell and CHESS are well-represented at this year’s Gordon Research Conference on X-ray Science
Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on X-ray Science is a biennial meeting, and was held at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts from July 28 to August 2. The conference was chaired by CHESS director Dr. Joel Brock. CHESS was one of sponsors of the conference this year
Hopping Made Easy: Controlling Electronic Transport in CoₓMn₃₋ₓO₄ Nanoparticles
"This work forms the starting point to understanding the mechanisms of charge transport in ternary spinel systems."
Slip but not fail: New Insights into Microstructural Deformation Mechanisms in Al-Li Alloys
"These new X-ray data are creating a path forward for the development of new microstructurally sensitive failure criteria."
$54M for CHEXS, A New High-Energy X-ray Facility
The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell University on Thursday $54 million to create CHEXS, The Center for High Energy X-ray Sciences. CHEXS will be a sub-facility of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, more commonly known as CHESS.
Conformational Gymnastics Necessary for Ribonucleotide Reductase Activity
"By understanding how an essential enzyme is inactivated in an organism-specific manner, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of new anti-pathogenetic therapies."
Less is more: Disorder raises the critical temperature of a cuprate superconductor
"Developing materials that exhibit superconductivity at room temperature for wide spread commercial use would allow a significant reduction in energy consumption throughout the power grid."
In-Situ Observations of Performance Evolution in Shape Memory Alloys
Shape memory alloys see use in numerous aerospace and biomedical applications, but their wider use is limited by functional fatigue. Understanding the micromechanical origins of functional fatigue will advance the development of new microstructures that mitigate these effects and lead to wider adoption in industry.
