The ASU Compact X-Ray Free Electron Laser (CXFEL)
THE ASU COMPACT X-RAY FREE ELECTRON LASER (CXFEL) In a building purpose built for its installation, a compact free electron x-ray laser, or CXFEL for short, is being assembled by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers. The CXFEL is the first of its kind, and when fully operational the team expects it will Read More …
Diamond – The New ‘Wonder Material’ for Extreme Environment Electronics
DIAMOND: THE NEW ‘WONDER MATERIAL’ FOR EXTREME ENVIRONMENT ELECTRONICS Most commercial electronics these days is manufactured from semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsenide. While Si and GaAs were the original ‘wonder materials’ that allowed the enormous progress microelectronics epitomized by Moore’s law they have certain limitations that prevent them from being used in Read More …
Welcome
WELCOME As we learn to live with COVID-19, and with many of the pandemic restrictions now being lifted, the core facilities under the NCI-SW umbrella are now operating at pre-pandemic levels. Users are back on the ASU and NAU campuses making new scientific discoveries with technological applications that address some of the key challenges Read More …

Large Area Solid-State Radiation Detectors
Professor Manuel Quevedo Lopez, University of Texas at Dallas October 7, 2021 The development of low temperature device technologies that have enabled flexible displays also present opportunities for flexible electronics and flexible integrated systems. In this presentation, Professor Lopez discusses fundamental materials properties including crystalline structure, interfacial reactions, doping, etc. defining performance and reliability of Read More …
Cryomineralogy, Like Mineralogy Only Cooler
Dr. Helen Maynard-Casely, Australian Center for Neutron Scattering September 23, 2021 Ocean worlds have solid surfaces, and although water ice dominates many of these surfaces, its material properties will be heavily influenced by the other chemical species it crystallizes with. Moreover, studies of the minerals that form on these surfaces are clues as to what Read More …
Designing Optimal Microscopy Experiments to Harvest Single-Cell Fluctuation Information
Dr. Brian Munsky, Colorado State University October 14, 2021 Modern fluorescence labeling and optical microscopy approaches have made it possible to experimentally observe every stage of basic gene regulatory processes, even at the level of individual DNA, RNA, and protein molecules, in living cells, and within fluctuating environments. To complement these observations, the mechanisms and Read More …
