Title: Setup and Applications of SAXS/WAXS at the Life Sciences X-ray Scattering Beamline Abstract: Small and Wide X-ray Scattering is a popular technique to characterize the size, shape and interactions amongst particles in solution. Scattering from particles in solution is isotropic and averaged over all particle orientations, thus 3-D information is lost. Resulting datasets are…

Title: Relating the Microscale to the Macroscale in Granular Materials Abstract: Granular materials, like soils and powders, play crucial roles in diverse applications from construction to agriculture to pharmaceuticals. Unlike continuous media, where strength can be determined by bulk material properties, the strength of granular materials is highly dependent on grain connectivity (fabric), force transmission,…

Title: Gas Flows in the Milky Way Halo Abstract: Gas flows play crucial roles in galaxy evolution. Inflowing gas provides fuel for new star formation, while outflowing gas carries away the chemically-enriched products from earlier generations of stars. In the Milky Way, we have a front-row seat for viewing the multi-phase gas flows that circulate…

Title: Topology, Spin and Orbital in DNA-like Chiral Quantum Materials Abstract: In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by non-superimposable mirror images for a material like DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers to the spin-momentum locking of a particle or quasiparticle in the momentum space. While seemingly unrelated characters in different…
