CBB participant Sandra Biedron wins a major grant to develop efficient Ultrafast Electron Diffraction for materials research.

Fermilab seeks Peoples Fellows candidates with outstanding credentials who have the potential to be leaders of the field.

Recent months have been exciting ones at CBB. First, NSF has selected CBB for a second 5-year award for 2021 - 2026, allowing us to further advance our research and education. This marvelous outcome recognizes CBB’s strong record of accomplishment in its first four years and its promise for the future. Go Beam Team!

CBB is pleased to announce new CBB Ph.D. Joshua Paul!

Each summer the CBB hosts an annual meeting and symposium that brings together team members from all over the U.S. for three days of scientific talks and activities. While we were not able to convene in person, we hosted a jam-packed event on July 21 – 23.

"The Exit-Wave Power-Cepstrum Transform for Scanning Nanobeam Electron Diffraction: Robust Strain Mapping at Subnanometer Resolution and Subpicometer Precision"E. Padgett, (et al.)

"A Single-pass Cr:ZnSe Amplifier for Broadband Infared Undulator Radiation" M.B. Andorf, (et al.) 

For sure, CBB has felt COVID-19’s impact. The hardest hit are our experimenters, and because our research is highly interdependent we are all affected by the loss of their observations. Nevertheless, I am impressed by CBB drive during this time - we are making progress and our discussions are as lively as ever. Indeed, if there are future health crises, CBB discoveries may help find a cure.
