Members of the CNM X-Ray Microscopy Group, Robert Winarski (left) and Martin Holt (right) put a Fresnel zone
plate into place in the hard X-ray nanoprobe at Sector 26 of the Advanced Photon Source. |
Matthias Bode is shown with his spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscope. His enhanced technique
allows scientists to observe the magnetism of single atoms. Use of this method could lead to better magnetic storage devices for
computers and other electronics. |
During June 2007 a group of 50 researchers and invited participants came together for the France-U.S. Nanoscience
Workshop. The purpose of this workshop was to help stimulate U.S.-France collaborations in nanoscience. (Left to right): Roland
Herino (Scientific Attache for the Consulate General of France, French Embassy, Houston, Texas), Katie Carrado Gregar (User and
Outreach Programs Manager, CNM), Eric Isaacs ( Director, CNM ), Jean-Philippe Bourgoin ( Director of Nanoscience Programs, CEA,
Saclay), Doris Neumann (International Affairs for Fundamental Research, CEA), Didier Stievenard ( Deputy Director, CNRS Institute
of Electronics, Microelectronics, and Nanotechnology, Lille), Patrick Bernier (Research Director, CNRS Office for USA/Canada,
French Embassy, Washington, DC), Linda Blevins (Technical and International Advisor, DOE/BES). |
U.S. Senator and Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) toured the CNM on August 29, 2007. CNM Division
Director Eric Isaacs (left) discussed recent research results on new materials for flexible hydrogen sensors with Durbin, Laboratory
Director Robert Rosner, and Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences Al Sattelberger. The research is a collaboration
between researchers in CNM and Argonne's Materials Sciences Division. |
In September 2007, students from the University of Pisa, Italy, hosted by the University of Illinois and Prof.
Jim Stubbin, toured the CNM with Katie Carrado, who shows the complex oxide molecular-beam epitaxy (DCA R450D Custom) instrument. |
In October 2007, Georges Rioux, Consul General of Canada, Chicago, and Susan Evans, Political/Economic Affairs
and Media Relations Officer, receive a tour of the CNM by Katie Carrado. |
