DAC Users Rock the New Norm

From the safety of their homes or with face masks in their offices our users remotely controlled data acquisition, including laser heating, at the 13-IDD station performing some of the most fascinating experiments we have seen yet. Within the three weeks of the mail-in close collaboration work in the 2020-2 run we had over 30 Zoom meetings with users, almost 300 e-mails and 1000 text-message exchanges in order to coordinate the collections of over 55 diamond anvil cells and samples with pressures ranging from 1 bar to 5 Mbar and temperatures up to 6000 K. We were excited to have worked with you and look forward to welcome you and many more back at GSECARS soon!
