2025 APS/SEES School on CONUSS/PHOENIX

Argonne National Laboratory May 12-14, 2025 Nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) methods, including Synchrotron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (SMS) and Nuclear Resonance Inelastic Spectroscopy (NRISX) are practiced at three beamlines at the APS: Sector 3, 16 and 30. Users are offered 5 different isotopes to work with: 57Fe, 83Kr, 119Sn, 151Eu and 161Dy. The APS-U brought significant enhancement […]

Webinar: Nuclear Resonant Spectroscopy at the APS

Nuclear Resonant Spectroscopy (NRS) takes advantage of low-energy nuclear resonances found in specific isotopes, such as Fe-57, to probe the local chemical environment and atomic vibrational dynamics within materials that contain these isotopes. This presentation will highlight NRS capabilities at the Advanced Photon Source and detail quantities that can be measured using this method that […]

2025 SEES-ISRD Joint Meeting

Rubenstein-Forum-Low-Res-For-Web-2

Held jointly at the University of Chicago on August 11-13, 2025. Keynote speakers will discuss topics in rock and mineral deformation and rheological properties in Earth, and there will be a poster session with a broad scientific focus.

ESRP 2025 – GSECARS hosted students from East Aurora High School

GSECARS hosted students from East Aurora High School as part of ANL’s Exemplary Student Research Program (ESRP). The students studied local air pollution as measured by passive air samples in Aurora, Illinois, by using the GSECARS Scanning Electron Microscope. Argonne – Exemplary Student Research Program
