FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
Exciting times at CHESS this month as we resume x-ray running and welcome new and returning users to our 2015 Users' Meeting. Kicking off the x-ray run was a visit in May by twelve high school students from Oakville, Ontario who learned about x-ray fluorescence, small-angle x-ray scattering and instrument development. Speaking of students, there are 28 undergraduates from across the US involved in R&D projects this summer - you'll be hearing about new instruments and software results in coming months. This month, take note of science and user highlights, a new way to obtain useful scientific software, and, in July, another in the successful series of workshops organized by Richard Gillilan on small-angle scattering for structural biology and soft matter physics. In the next newsletter you'll hear more about the Users' Meeting and hands-on workshop on x-ray emission spectroscopy. Enjoy! -Ernest Fontes

Switchable nanorods
|
Nanorods are elongated nanoparticles with aspect ratios of typically 3:1 to 10:1 and thus have interesting structural and optical anisotropies. A team of Cornell researchers led by Tobias Hanrath and Detlef Smilgies...
