Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) is a one-day conference designed to stimulate participants’ interest in math and science through hands-on activities, provide female scientist role models, and foster awareness of opportunities in math and science-related careers. This year the event returned in-person and CHESS staff participated in a lab tour.

At the present time we are planning to hold this NSF-funded workshop in person at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.  Attendees may apply for travel and lodging support. Click for more info.

Photocathodes are materials that emit electrons when illuminated by light, and are vital to the performance of some of the world’s most powerful particle accelerators. But due to poor crystalline properties, photocathodes have yet to realize their full potential. Cornell researchers are addressing this limitation.
