2016 Users Meeting

May 9-12, 2016 Joint APS/CNM Users Meeting

The annual joint users meetings of the Center for Nanoscale Materials and the co-located Advanced Photon Source are held at Argonne National Laboratory. Anyone is welcome to register for these meetings, which attract more than 400 registrants and 50+ vendor booths for myriad activities including technical workshops that highlight, promote, and stimulate user science; plenary sessions; poster sessions; a vendor expo; social events; and CNM short courses. A Best Student Poster Award competition is held for students who benefit from accessing the CNM.

New! The CNM Best Student Poster Prizes went to:

  • Emily Hoffman, Northwestern University, "Observation of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoflake Friction:
  • David Lioi, Drexel University, "Ultrafast Dynamics of Correlated Electron States in Layered CuxTiSe2"

New! The CNM UEC Election winners are:

  • Olga Makarova, Creatv Microtech
  • James Rondinelli, Northwestern University
  • Zhili Xiao, Northern Illinois University
