Announcements

  We are thrilled to announce that Rachita Rana, a final year graduate student at University of California at Davis, and co-advised by Simon R. Bare, and the developer of the automated workflow QuantEXAFS that uses high-throughput atomistic simulations to fit XAS data, recently participated in the Rising Stars in Chemical Engineering: An Academic Career Workshop for Women, held at MIT. This two-day workshop brought together top female doctoral students and postdoctoral...

  We are excited to share with you the next installment of our newsletter! The newsletter can be found in Semi-Annual Newsletter page (click).

We have released an updated, non-python-based version of our X-ray sample mass calculator, CatMass! Jorge has taken the bones and functionality from Adam’s original release and created an installable program with expanded capabilities. The updated version now offers: Save/Open sample calculations Expanded energy ranges and sample geometries to calculate absorption cross sections Plot sample absorption and identify competing edges in energy and k-space Added functionality to...

  As part of 2018 SSRL/LCLS Users' meeting, Co-ACCESS team organized a workshop titled “Catalysis by Single Metal Atoms: What is All the Fuss About.” This workshop provided a platform for discussion of the current state of our understanding of such catalysts for over 50 researchers who were attending.  Several key points of discussion were: How do you synthesize catalysts with only single atoms? How do you prove that you have only single atoms? What is the local geometry of...
