Argonne sees bright future from new photon source

Article Abstract:

The Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, IL, has secured a bright future following the inauguration of the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The 7-GeV APS is a powerful X-ray source and matches the specifications of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, France, and the Super Photon Ring, Japan. The APS will provide services to around 2,000 scientists. The APS will complement the Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, CA. Opinions of scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center are discussed.

State university system sees 'devastating' cuts

Article Abstract:

A budget cut of up to 1/3rd at the State University of New York (SUNY) has raised fears about the university's states as a major research institution. Anticipated cuts will hit research by raising the cost of taking on graduate students, preventing good staff from obtaining tenure and encouraging departure of existing staff. The budget has been cut from $ 970 million to 670 million next year, causing 60% increase in tuition fees. SUNY's $340 million research program makes it one of the largest research universities in the U.S.
