The five-year, $2.29 million grant supports “exceptionally creative new investigators who propose highly innovative projects that have the potential for unusually high biomedical impact."
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.
