Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source

An article on the mapping of structure in real space, reciprocal space, and time using high-energy X-rays by CHESS scientists and directors was recently published in Synchrotron Radiation News. More here: https://www.chess.cornell.edu/srn-article-cartography-7-dim

Ryan Hurley, Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering and Fellow of the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute, is a recipient of the NSF Early CAREER Award, which recognizes early-stage faculty who integrate education with their promising research. As CHESS strives to align research with education, we asked Ryan a few questions about the award and how he uses CHESS to pursue his research and educational goals. https://www.chess.cornell.edu/qa-ryan-hurley-nsf-early-care

New research from a large team from 5 Universities and 2 National Labs reports on a new family of iridium halide materials that provide the best-yet realization of the ideal quantum limit for spin-orbit coupled magnetic moments. These Jeff= magnets are promising systems to engineer new kinds of superconductors and realize new kinds of magnetic interactions. https://www.chess.cornell.edu/approaching-ideal-limit-spin- Oak Ridge National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory National Science Foundation (NSF)

Dive into the capabilities and impact of the National Science Foundation (NSF) -funded FAST beamline with Staff Scientist Kate Shanks. Kate talks about what kind of research happens at FAST, remote operations, 3D printing, brighter beams, and Moon rocks! https://www.chess.cornell.edu/beamlines-focus-fast

Zepyoor Khechadoorian wraps up our week of celebrating the women of CLASSE for #WomeninScienceDay She is a graduate student working on the Muon g-2 experiment. ...Zepyoor’s advice for young scientists: Focus more on pursuing knowledge than recognition. I switched into physics later into my undergraduate career and although I never found the courses easy, the drive to learn really helped me climb my way up the class. I also think collaboration outweighs competition and love that in physics it’s been quite easy to find a group of people willing to help and teach each other. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM UN Women

3D printing with fiber-filled polymer inks could allow researchers to reliably print high-performance materials with exceptional strength that rival conventional composites. But sometimes the nozzle clogs during printing. Why? Find out: https://www.chess.cornell.edu/mechanics-nozzle-clogging-dur Air Force Research Laboratory - AFRL

Predicting fatigue crack initiation in engineering alloys is a long-standing challenge. The comprehensive work reported in this science highlight employs four different high-energy x-ray techniques at two different synchrotrons, combined with advanced crystal plasticity models, to quantify the stress gradients that can lead to fatigue failure in a single sample of Ni-based superalloy.
