News and Announcements

Christofanis will be working on software development for the Diamond Anvil Cell program.

Sector 13 LVP users have successfully completed their most recent experiments remotely. They were able to mail in their samples, and with the help of remote access software, and GSECARS staff, run their experiments.

CNN, CNET and APS highlight work done at 13 IDD by Dan Shim’s Lab for Earth and Planetary Materials at Arizona State University and scientists from the University of Chicago on how the interiors of carbon-rich exoplanets could create diamonds through high pressure and temperature conditions.

GSECARS welcomes Anna Wanhala. She is a postdoctoral scholar working with Joanne Stubbs and Peter Eng conducting research into mineral-fluid interface processes.

Scheduled to start in June, 2022, this APS video explains the cutting edge science which will result from the upcoming APS Upgrade. Mark Rivers, GSECARS Co-Director, featured at 1:22.

He will be working for Matt Newville on a project, “Web-based X-ray properties of the elements and absorption calculations.

From the safety of their homes or with face masks in their offices our users remotely controlled data acquisition, including laser heating, at the 13-IDD station performing some of the most fascinating experiments we have seen yet.

Dr. Peter Eng, working with University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) Executive Director of Perioperative and Procedural Services Jon Brickman, and with help from GSECARS’ Mike Proskey and Dr. Joanne Stubbs, has developed a safe and efficient method for disinfection of N95 masks for re-use by UCMC staff.

GSECARS welcomes Univeristy of Chicago, Department of Physical Sciences, Dean Angela Olinto.

GSECARS participated in the APS Upgrade video.
