Role models for future engineers
Beverly J. Martin (BJM) Elementary School is located in downtown Ithaca and is a vibrant, diverse community, with a wide range of learners and a cohort of students struggling to become more proficient in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
CHESS-U Magnet Program update
The CHESS-U upgrade requires the construction and installation in CESR of a large number (~100) of new magnets.
“Seriously Sweet!” Ace K binding observed in CA IX
Human carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is an enzyme upregulated in tumorigenic tissue that is being targeted by small molecules as a potential cancer therapy.
Undergraduate senior project takes flight
Cornell Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering student, Anton Volkmann, has sealed his place in the rich history of walkalong gliding.
CHESS-U update: First Light in ID1A3
The first hutch constructed for the CHESS-U upgrade has begun commissioning and saw first light on January 31, 2018, a short 10 months after the contract with ADC Inc. to pre-fabricate the hutch enclosures was signed.
New tricks for an old dog: A comparison of the etch mechanisms of germanium and silicon
Time multiplexed, deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is a standard silicon microfabrication technique for fabricating MEMS sensors, actuators, and more recently in CMOS development for 2.5D and 3D memory devices.
X-ray detector for studying characteristics of materials
Modern synchrotron x-ray sources, such as the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron (CHESS), produce x-ray beams with unprecedented capabilities.
Visualization of sulfur cathodes in Li-S batteries
With the dramatic increase of energy applications, the development of novel high performance energy storage systems with energy densities surpassing those of state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries (“beyond lithium” ion batteries) has become more urgent.
