Satellite Workshop at 2013 APS User Meeting
Time-resolved X-ray Science at BioCARS: Past, Present, and Future HOSTED BY BIOCARS HELD AT ADVANCED PHOTON SOURCE, ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORYAbout The Workshop The last major upgrade to the BioCARS 14ID beamline, completed in 2008, produced unprecedented time-resolved capabilities that have been exploited in many areas of X-ray science spanning biology, chemistry...
Moffat Appointed Senior Advisor For Life Sciences At The APS
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is the Western Hemisphere’s most powerful source of x-rays for research. It attracts more than 4,000 users from academia, industry, and government laboratories around the world each year for research in all fields of science. In particular, almost half of the user community is in the life sciences area. The appointment of a Senior...
Moffat To Receive ACA Patterson Award
BioCARS Principal Investigator Keith Moffat has been selected as the recipient of the 2011 Patterson Award, given by the American Crystallographic Association. The award, established in 1980 to honor A.

BioCARS Participates In Annual X-Ray School
On June 16 and 17, 2010, BioCARS conducted two half-day experiments with total of 13 students from the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering. Instructors Irina Koshelev and Vukica Srajer demonstrated time-resolved macromolecular crystallography using photoactive yellow protein crystals, as well as Laue data processing using the program Precognition. The...
Staff Member Contributes To Fiber Diffraction Workshop
BioCARS beamline scientist Robert Henning participated in a workshop on fiber diffraction hosted by BioCAT (APS beamline 18-ID). The event included a demonstration of fiber crystallography capabilities at BioCARS beamline 14-BM-C. BioCARS and BioCAT have complementary techniques for this type of study and have made collaborative arrangements under which users may...
