The Summer Engineering and Research for Community College Students (SERCCS) program, PREM (Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials), Summer Undergraduate Research in Science and Engineering (SUnRiSE), and the NSF-funded REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) are programs that run concurrently through the summer.
Researchers led by Professor Aaron Stebner's group at the Colorado School of Mines were able to elucidate important functional fatigue behaviors in a shape memory alloy (SMA) b
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.
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.
Before June 26th, Chris Budrow was a doctoral student at CHESS, working with his advisor Matt Miller. Now, he is Dr. Christopher Budrow.
