Lead by the WSU Collins Group in collaboration with Berkeley Lab and the McCormick Group at the University of Southern Mississippi, the first RSoXS spatiochemical analysis of aqueous polymer micelles has been published in Nature Communications. The work culminates postdoc and first author Terry McAfee’s project to develop microfluidic RSoXS capabilities. This capability is now possible at two synchrotron facilities: Berkeley Lab’s ALS and Brookhaven Lab’s NSLS-II.
The work has generated interest in the WSU media with pieces in both the WSU Insider and the Daily Evergreen – each of which have produced accurate descriptions of the work for General Audiences. It has been picked up by several other media sites across the internet.
The work has also been highlighted at the Advanced Light Source written for the X-ray science field.
