Synergistic Co−Mn Oxide Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reactions
What did the scientists discover?
Predicting and measuring residual stresses in additively manufactured components
Researchers developed an advanced computational model to predict the residual stress state in a bridge shaped part and compared the simulated data with experimental results obtained at CHESS, finding good qualitative and quantitative agreement.
Beyond the Lab with Katie Moring: CHESS Operations Manager
If you travel these scenic paths, you may come across a group of riders known as the Gorges Gals, journeying the same climbs, and geared up for the 20-30 mile ride. Usually, at the front of the pack is Katie Moring. Katie helps organize the weekly ride - with sometimes up to 40 attendees - and urges others to get involved.
NSF Delegation visits CHESS
The group took an extensive tour of CHESS and met with many members of the technical, engineering scientific and administrative staff, all integral to the success of the upgrade of the facility. After the tour, while enjoying coffee and donuts in Wilson Lab Commons with CHESS and CLASSE staff, Linda Sapochack expressed how impressed the NSF team was with the new facility, the progress made to date, and the professionalism, commitm
Heat Harvesting with Cellulosic Membranes
Wood-based ionic conductors are flexible, lightweight, biocompatible and based on sustainable materials that can enable large-scale manufacture and suitable for low-grade thermal energy harvesting.
Potential high-yield fabrication of x-ray transmission mirror optics
Characteristics makes XTM optics attractive as potential X-ray optics for high-pass harmonic selectors and tunable wide bandpass monochromators. With further instrumentation development, they can be potentially applied to high heat load filtering applications at synchrotrons.
NIH awards $17.4 million to Cornell for CHESS subfacility
To understand these biological processes, researchers have been using the high-energy X-rays at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). These intense beams of light are critical to solving the structure of these proteins, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will help ensure that this research continues.
2019 CHESS Users' Meeting and Workshops
Meeting Reports
On June 4th, 2019, exactly one year to the day after the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) shut down for the CHESS-U upgrade project, the CHESS Users’ Meeting attracted a record number of 225 registered participants to the Cornell campus to look back at major milestones of the project and to discuss X-ray science enabled by the ambitious upgrade.
