What is the discovery?
Steve is very interested in structural biology methods that let us see "molecular movies" -- i.e. how molecular machines like enzymes actually work. Diffuse scattering is one such method that he’s worked on with Nozomi Ando's group. But he’s also interested in using time-resolved techniques to include more types of perturbations, such as temperature, pressure, and electric fields.
CHESS is a vital resource for educating new and emerging synchrotron scientists. As the only synchrotron located on a university campus, it is CHESS's mission to engage students who will directly benefit from this amazing resource.
