NSLS-II Seminar

"X-ray Imaging in Real Life"

Presented by Chris Jacobsen, Argonne National Lab / Northwestern University

Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 4:00 pm — Stony Brook Physics and Astronomy Colloquium, Harr

Hierarchical structures fill our body, our planet, and our devices. X-rays provide a unique tool to image this hierarchy: they can penetrate into real materials and environments, they can reveal trace elements, and they can measure chemical states and crystalline lattice rearrangements. There are interesting problems over many time and length scales, ranging from watching explosives at work to understanding the dynamics of zinc in oocyte fertilization. Future directions in nanoscale imaging look towards complexity: that of a material's environment, and that of the data, so that one can learn from x-ray imaging in real life.
