ALS in the News (November 2017)
Provide Input on Beamlines for the ALS Upgrade
The ALS seeks input from the community on potential new and rebuilt beamlines to be included in the ALS-U Project. A series of online user forums is being held to provide project updates and solicit input. The next takes place on December 6 at 10 a.m. PT. Input is also being accepted through an online form. More information about the process and upcoming events can be found here. Read more »
NIH Grant Will Enhance Structural Biology Research Experience for ALS Users
A recently awarded National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant will help integrate existing structural biology resources at the ALS to better serve users. The funds will help establish a centralized collaborative mechanism, called ALS-ENABLE, that will guide users through the most appropriate routes for answering their biological questions. Read more »
CO Adsorption on Pd(100) Studied by Multimodal Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron and Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopies
The first combined infrared spectroscopy and ambient-pressure XPS study was demonstrated at Beamline 11.0.2. The in situ vibrational and core-level spectroscopies in the Torr pressure range offer complementary information on the properties of surfaces and adsorbates while closing the pressure gap between laboratory measurements and applications. The multimodal spectroscopy also allowed the identification of the C 1s binding energy and quantification of an uncommon atop CO species on a Pd(100) surface. Read more »
Structure of Nanoscale-Pitch Helical Phases: Blue Phase and Twist-Bend Nematic Phase Resolved by Resonant Soft X-Ray Scattering
Resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSoXS) at the carbon K-edge was used to probe periodic structures of phases with orientational molecular order but homogeneous electron density distribution. This approach can be applied to structures with periodicities below the optical wavelength, to which neither optical nor classical x-ray diffraction techniques are sensitive. Read more »
Cast Your Vote in the “Science as Art” Competition
The ALS Science as Art Competition debuts next week at the User Meeting. The contest features scientific images and photographs that show the aesthetic side of ALS data and instrumentation. In addition to the in-person vote during the poster session on Oct. 2, everyone is invited to take part in the public vote. Cast your ballot by 4 p.m. PT on Oct. 3. Read more »
User Meeting Live Tweeting!
The “official” hashtag of the ALS User Meeting is #ALSUserMtg. If you’re attending, the ALS invites you to use the hashtag to share photos of your experience: post your poster, your sunset selfies, or your favorite speaker(s). Report on the latest science news, meetups with colleagues, or give your review of the food! If you can’t make it to the meeting this year, you can follow what’s happening on Twitter, #ALSUserMtg, from October 2-4, 2017. Read more »
