$54M for CHEXS, A New High-Energy X-ray Facility
CHESS is a national research facility that annually attracts more than 1,200 users who conduct X-ray analysis and collect data for research in materials, biomedical and other science fields. CHESS has been funded exclusively by the National Science Foundation since its commissioning in 1980. In April of 2019, Cornell transitioned to a new funding model in which multiple partners will steward facilities at CHESS.
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!
Gabriella Carini named CHESS director as facility readies for the future
Carini, who has held leadership positions at the Brookhaven laboratory and at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory for more than two decades, currently oversees Brookhaven’s scientific programs in instrumentation, accelerator science, quantum technologies, microelectronics and advanced research infrastructure.
Carini is appointed a professorship in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering.
