CHESS Holds Town Hall - Extended funding and other updates from around the lab
Updates from Joel Brock, CHESS Director, included a “thank you” to CHESS’s partner funding agencies. CHESS user operations are fully funded for the fiscal year beginning April 1st, and CHESS is looking forward to welcoming users at all beamlines for a fully-packed beamtime schedule.
SUNY Delhi students visit Wilson Lab
SUNY Delhi offers the nation's first mechatronics major, a multidisciplinary field of engineering, incorporating controlled electronics, mechanical and computer systems; all to adapt to the ever-evolving and intricate systems of everything in industry; from food processing and car-manufacturing to sustainability and space exploration.
CHESS and CLASSE scientists take part in Expanding Your Horizons 2023
The 2023 EYH conference took place on April 1st and consisted of speakers, workshops, demonstrations, and lab tours geared towards motivating young scientists to get involved in STEM. Students participate in two or three workshops organized by Cornell students and faculty, tour state-of-the-art lab facilities on Cornell’s Ithaca campus, connect with peers and mentors, and learn that anyone with a curious mind has what it takes to pursue a future in STEM!
Structural evolution of the kagome superconductors through charge density wave order
A new paper appearing in Physical Review Materials, by a team from UCSB, Argonne National Lab, and Cornell, sheds new light on the structural evolution of kagome superconductors during CDW formation.

How a Record-Breaking Copper Catalyst Converts CO2 Into Liquid Fuels
Since the 1970s, scientists have known that copper has a special ability to recycle carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels. But for many years, scientists have struggled to understand how this common metal works as an electrocatalyst, a mechanism that uses energy from electrons to chemically transform molecules into different products.
Cornell-led Team Selected for National Science Foundation's Convergence Accelerator
A team of collaborators from the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), Cornell’s College of Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology, Australia’s CSIRO and Industry have been selected to participate in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Convergence Accelerator, a program that supports interdisciplinary research solving societal challenges.
The influence of Alloying on slip intermittency and the implications for dwell fatigue in titanium
The high precision of HEDM measurements at FAST offer new insight into the microscopic processes that cause dwell fatigue, pointing toward new alloying strategies for mitigation.
