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
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
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!”
On November 20th, New York State Senator Anna Kaplan, D-Great Neck, visited Wilson Lab to learn more about the Cornell-Brookhaven ERL Test Accelerator, CBETA. This new prototype accelerator is a collaboration between Brookhaven National Lab, (near Kaplan’s district on Long Island), and Cornell scientists. In time, the CBETA project is expected to become the most energy-efficient, high performance accelerator ever built. Both CHES
In addition to running the User Office, Megan will be leading the coordination of our Summer Programs which brings in students from across the United States, and Sam will be coordinating our Public Outreach efforts.
