The CHESS Users’ Meeting will be held in-person at the Physical Sciences Building at Cornell, with the option to view the meeting online via Zoom.

This workshop will identify forefront research opportunities for optical control of physical properties in biological, chemical, and materials systems.

Congratulations to Ashley Bucsek and Kushol Gupta!

Today, 60 feet below the Cornell University campus, at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), researchers utilize X-rays that are 100 million times more intense than Röntgen's first beams of light.

The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, CHESS, and the University of Puerto Rico are continuing a collaboration that will shape the future of the synchrotron X-Ray laboratory as it builds the new High Magnetic Field facility, HMF.

Hybrid pixel array detectors (PADs) have proven to be powerful, versatile area detectors for X-ray science. A new prototype would enable significant advances in time-resolved studies of dynamic phenomena.

Congratulations to Matt Miller, Principal Investigator for MSN-C.   Matt was just named the Willis H. Carrier Professor in Engineering at Cornell - effective July 1, 2022.

In a new paper appearing in Physical Review Letters, research co-first-authored by postdoctoral fellows Baiqing Lyu (MIT) and Alfred Zong (Berkeley) and a team lead by Prof. Nuh Gedik (MIT), claim that EuTe4 sets a new record for hysteresis in a crystalline solid.

The Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) celebrated the groundbreaking for a new $32.6 million high magnetic field project April 14 – the facility’s latest milestone.

The 2022 PREM XAS Workshop was held in person from Thursday, March 31 to Friday, April 1 on the Cupey campus of Universidad Ana G. Méndez in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  The goal of this workshop was to introduce the current Center for Interfacial Electrochemistry of Energy Materials (CIE2M) and High Magnetic Field (HMF) beamline students to x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) experiments.
