nanoscale energy transport
Mark Weidman was selected as the 2017 recipient of the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) Student Research Paper Prize for his paper Kinetics of the self-assembly of nanocrystal superlattices measured by real-time in situ X-ray scattering, published last year in Nature Materials. Mark will travel to Cornell in June to present his work at the annual CHESS user’s meeting and receive his $1,000 prize. Congratulations Mark!
