Hopping Made Easy: Controlling Electronic Transport in CoₓMn₃₋ₓO₄ Nanoparticles
This work forms the starting point to understanding the mechanisms of charge transport in ternary spinel systems.
Cornell and CHESS are well-represented at this year’s Gordon Research Conference on X-ray Science
The theme of the conference was “Advances X-Ray Sources and Novel Imaging, Characterization and Analysis Techniques”, with emphasis on (1) recent work and advances in accelerator based X-ray sources to create X-ray beams with novel properties; (2) the development of novel X-ray imaging, characterization and analysis techniques; and (3) novel applications of X-rays to frontier scientific challenges.

Groundbreaking Year at CHESS
On July 1, beam was introduced to all of the sectors that will have users in September. Excellent design, precise surveying, and careful installation all contribute to the quick success of receiving light at the hutches after CHESS-U construction.
Room temperature serial oscillation crystallography
What did the Scientists Discover?
Our team has developed a new serial crystallography method for rapid serial data collection with oscillation, lowering the total number of crystals needed. Crystals are deposited onto a silicon chip with thousands of microwells in precise locations. Using a piezoelectric translation stage, each crystal-containing microwell can be positioned in front of the X-ray beam rapidly and precisely. With oscillation, the total amount of data per crystal that can be obtained is improved, without effects from radiation damage.
