The University’s Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices was recently awarded a $1.26 million grant from the National Science Foundation to buy a device that produces high energy X-rays for determining the structure of proteins and for the development of improved cancer treatments, the Business Report reported today. The device is a superconducting multi-pole wiggler. It will be used for studying energy, the environment, medicine and drug discovery and will be operational in about two years. The grant award is believed to be the largest in University history for equipment, said the Business Report.  —-Contact Kyle Bove at [email protected]
