Scientists at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education have been working for the last decade on research and development of an Energy Recovery Linac as a new X-ray light source. The research has led to the creation of a new particle accelerator, which offers a wide range of applications beyond the ERL.
Using a technique that illuminates subtle changes in individual proteins, chemistry researchers have uncovered new insight into the underlying causes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
A major upgrade to compact undulators will make the quality of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source's X-rays competitive with the world’s best synchrotron light sources.
Using instruments aboard the Cassini spacecraft to measure the wobbles of Mimas, a Cornell astronomer has inferred that this moon’s icy surface cloaks either a rocky core or a sloshing sub-surface ocean.
Two dozen high school science teachers from across the state and beyond attended the Xraise Science Teacher Workshop, hosted at the eXploration station behind Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory.
For exemplary work in planetary science, Cornell astronomy professor Jonathan Lunine will be awarded the prestigious Jean-Dominique Cassini Medal by the European Geosciences Union, the group announced Oct. 13.
Eric Betzig, M.S. ’85, Ph.D. ’88, and William Moerner, M.S. ’78, Ph.D. ’82, have shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry for groundbreaking achievements in optical microscopy.
A collaboration between Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source and materials scientists has yielded greater understanding of what particular nanocrystals look like individually, and how they fit together as they form larger structures called supercrystals.
