DOE User Facilities Highlighted in Elements Magazine

The February issue of Elements, a magazine devoted to the fields of mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology, highlights how scientists are utilizing User Research Facilities worldwide, including U.S. Department of Energy user facilities, such as the NSLS. This special issue, edited by Stephen R. Sutton (University of Chicago), describes x-ray, neutron, and mass spectrometry facilities worldwide and details many scientific advances made possible by these facilities.

As a part of this special issue, geochemists Antonio Lanzirotti (University of Chicago) and Richard J. Reeder (Stony Brook University) have authored an article in this issue titled "Accessing User Facilities and Making Your Research Experience Successful". It is written as a practical and comprehensive guide for any scientist who may want to boost their research by accessing user facilities that provide research tools not available at their home institutions.
