Ando has dedicated her career to “seeing” atoms using high energy X-rays with a technique called diffuse scattering; imagine a pair of glasses that allow you to see atoms and molecules. These glasses not only let you see these molecules but also very specific ways molecules move.
The group’s paper, “Dendritic Deformation Modes in Additive Manufacturing Revealed by Operando X-Ray Diffraction,” published Oct. 10 in Nature Communications Materials. The lead author is doctoral student Adrita Dass, M.S. ’20.
Doctoral students Adrita Dass (left) and Chenxi Tian, and Atieh Moridi, assistant professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, created a portable twin of their 3D-printing setup.
Prof Bawendi is an international leader in quantum dot synthesis and characterization, as well as a valued past CHESS user and collaborator. We congratulate his entire team on the well-deserved recognition of their decades of groundbreaking research. We encourage the CHESS user community to take a moment to acknowledge this milestone by revisiting some classic papers from Prof Bawendi, and/or his current and former students and postdocs, which made use of the CHESS facility:
Magneto-Fluorescent Core-Shell Supernanoparticles
Funded with a $5 million grant from the Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program run by the U.S. Department of Defense and $1.8 million from Cornell, the consortium is a collaborative effort led by Cornell’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in partnership with the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) and the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR).
For decades, the Wilson Laboratory, which houses the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), has relied on four immense cooling towers that evaporate 10,000 gallons of water daily to reduce the temperature of the nearly 650 electromagnets – some roughly twice the size of a human being – that line a half-mile-long ring buried 40 feet below a scenic swath of east campus.
Q: Could you tell me a little bit about your initial experience as a community college student in the SERCCS program at CLASSE?
August 9, 2023, was the deadline for Proposals – though the User Office does accept proposals after the deadline, users are asked to please get proposals in ASAP for a chance at beam time starting in October. We will continue to accept Rapid Access proposals for the Beamline 7A HP BioSAXS and BioSAXS and Beamline 7B2 HPBio MX & FlexX throughout the upcoming run.
