Attend the meeting for updates on all CHESS facilities, science talks from CHESS researchers, and to network during breaks and the poster session.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
