Research
- "It is precisely at times like these that successful institutions seize the moment to define what they value, what they aspire to become, and what investments are needed to realize these aspirations."
  – Dean Lynden Archer
- Priority Research Directions
- Impactful Initiatives
- Priority Research Directions will guide our investments in people, programs, and infrastructure.
  Impactful Initiatives are a subset of these that present particularly promising opportunities.

Use of x-rays as a byproduct

chris | December 21, 1950

Assistant Professor Paul Hartman (Physics, Ph.D., 1938) was one of the first to investigate the use of X-rays generated as a byproduct of high-energy electron accelerators. This discovery goes on to inform the X-ray diffraction studies at facilities such as Cornell’s High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS)
