2026 SEES Multigrain Single Crystal Workshop

We are excited to announce the first ever SEES Multigrain Single Crystal Workshop, to be held at the University of Chicago on August 8-9, 2026, in conjunction with the 2026 SEES-FORCE Joint Meeting. In this workshop, SEES beamline scientists Stella Chariton, Vitali Prakapenka, and Dongzhou Zhang will cover the principles of single- and multigrain diffraction techniques, sample preparation, crystal […]
