Wild blue wonder: X-ray beam explores food color protein
In food products, the natural blues tend to be moody.
A fun food colorant with a scientific name – phycocyanin – provides a vivid blue pigment that food companies crave, but it can be unstable when placed in soft drinks and sport beverages, and then lose its hues under fluorescent light on grocery shelves.

2021 Summer Shutdown Highlights
Two significant projects over the summer were replacement of the power supplies for the LINAC and the synchrotron put in almost 60 years ago. These are both critical to the operation of CHESS, since “if either the LINAC or Synchrotron aren’t running, there is no injection of beam into CESR and hence, no CHESS operation” as Jerry Codner, CESR Technical Director, explains.

What are your research interests?
My research group is broadly interested in the applications of porous crystalline materials, specifically metal-organic and covalent organic frameworks. We are interested in leveraging the unparalleled tunability of these materials for new applications in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, chemical separations, and even structural biology through a project in collaboration with CHESS.
