CHESS: X-rays of the Future
We also take a look at the balloon science that a Southern university studied during the 2017 solar eclipse, and we learn about the science and technology that the military is using to make sure the soldiers are in tip top shape!

Timing is everything: Time-resolved experiments add niche offering at CHESS
CHESS has integrated a new operating mode that empowers researchers to capture processes on the nanosecond to microsecond timescale using 100 picosecond pulses of X-rays. At this scale, researchers can investigate swift processes in their experiments, such as crack formations racing across a material or proteins folding and unfolding – minute actions occurring in the blink of an eye.
CHESS receives $20M from NSF for new X-ray beamline
Wilson West Update - January 2024
We are happy to report that Cornell Facilities & Campus Services Project Manager Alex Chevallard has asked contractor Streeter and their subcontractors to provide all the finishing touches and polish to the new Wilson West building by the end of January 2024. At that time the beautiful new building will be ready for the start of installation of the new sector 5 X-ray beamline - also knowns as the High Magnetic Field (HMF) facility.
