NSF LOGO University-Industry Collaborative Projects


Caption: Project directors of a collaborative project involving the University of Michigan, Howard University, and AT&T Bell Laboratories explain to students how high-speed array detectors will be used to perform research on advanced materials. NSF is supporting this partnership effort to develop an undulator beam line - - one of two X-Ray beams at the Argonne National Laboratory's Advanced Photon Source in Illinois. Using X-Ray beams of unprecedented brightness, scientists will be able to observe atomic- level chemical reactions and biological processes as they occur.
