Expanding Teacher Resources Across the US
However, CHESS offers much more than these expansive kits. With Next Generation Science Standards being implemented across New York State, teachers are working to understand the new methods and techniques in order to further improve STEM efforts statewide.
Thermally Activated Equilibration of Self-Suspended Hairy Nanoparticles
Soft glassy materials such as colloidal suspensions and emulsions...are of interest both from a scientific perspective as model material systems for studying suspension stability, and from a practical viewpoint for their wide applications...
Unmasking continental natal homing in goliath catfish from the upper Amazon
These findings lay the groundwork for conservation efforts in the context of hydro-power development in the Amazon Basin and set testable hypotheses of the potential impacts of the Madeira River dams.
CHESS Work Journal Cover - JOM
Th cover image was taken from the journal article "In-Situ Grain Resolved Stress Characterization During Damage Initiation in Cu-10%W Alloy” by Reeju Pokharel et al. The image shows a 3D characterization of a Cu-10%W alloy. A microstructure map, obtained from HEDM measurements, shows the crystallographic grains of W embedded on a
CHESS Provides Mechatronics Experience for Interns
Connor Tucker, Antonio Russo, and Timothy (TJ) Joyce, all seniors and current mechatronics majors at SUNY Delhi, spent their Fall 2019 semester working alongside CHESS staff as student interns. The projects turned into much more than a resume-builder for the students, and into lasting contributions to the l
Beyond the Lab with Bill Miller
For the past 30 years, Bill has gone from helping users capture data on Polaroids, to assembling hutches for the recent CHESS-U upgrade.
Throughout these thirty years, one thing has always been constant; Bill is there when you need him, whether you are a user or a staff scientist, Bill is known to lend a helping hand. However, If you ask him, he would add a bit of humor, the kind that seems to follow Bill around the lab; “Nothing is constant here, that’s why I love it!”
Setting Carriers Free: Healing Faulty Interfaces Promotes Delocalization and Transport in Nanocrystal Solids
Over-coming the limitations imposed by interfacial defects is therefore an essential next step in the development of high-quality optoelectronic devices based on NC solids.
Twisting the Helix: Salt Dependence of Conformations of RNA Duplexes
Together with DNA and proteins, RNA forms the trinity of macromolecules (large and heavy molecules) essential to all forms of life on earth.
