Abstract

A workshop on “Soft Matter and Biomolecular Materials: X-ray Scattering Enabled by High Brightness Beamlines” was organized by Ben Hsiao of Stony Brook University and Lin Yang, Elaine DiMasi and Ron Pindak of the NSLS on May 16, 2006. The objective of this workshop was to highlight: (1) recent achievements using synchrotron X-ray scattering for multi-dimensional interrogation of soft matter and biomolecular materials; and (2) creative uses of bright synchrotron beams to obtain spatially and time-resolved structural information. The workshop included several lectures describing cutting-edge synchrotron scattering techniques, such as microbeam small- and wide-angle scattering, grazing-incidence surface scattering, resonant scattering, and fast parallel detection, for studies of polymers, nanoparticles, biomaterials and liquid crystals.
