The goal of this conference is to increase awareness about the value of light sources for agricultural research, and to engage with potential researchers and industrial users to increase the use of advanced imaging synchrotron tools, by showcasing leading research in the field.

Congratulations to CLASSE Graduate Student Matthew Signorelli, who has been selected as a winner of the Bruno Touschek Prize awarded at the 14th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC’23)!

The Cornell Heroes is an annual campaign that showcases working groups or teams that have made exceptional contributions to the Cornell University community.

Cornell is breaking new ground in electron beam research with the HERACLES beamline, a state-of-the-art electron gun that mimics the harsh environments of the world’s largest particle colliders.

Nigel Lockyer, an accomplished physicist and laboratory leader, has been selected as the new director at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE).

Cornell scientists have created an evolutionary model that connects organisms living in today’s oxygen-rich atmosphere to a time, billions of years ago, when Earth’s atmosphere had little oxygen.

An interdisciplinary, interactive workshop on the challenges and opportunities in scientific computing, machine learning, and other aspects of data-intensive science at synchrotron facilities.

As many inhabitants of Wilson lab have heard, seen, smelled, and felt, the New Experimental Hall (NEH) civil construction project is full speed ahead. 

Jeney Wierman started as the new MacCHESS Director on July 1st, 2022.  Below is a welcome message to the whole CHESS Community. Jeney takes over the MacCHESS directorship from Marian Szebenyi, who will be retiring later this year after 30 years at MacCHESS.

CLASSE funds summer research opportunities in the areas of x-ray and accelerator sciences, materials science, chemistry, and mechanical engineering for pre-selected undergraduate students from primarily undergraduate institutions and minority serving institutions.
