By Rachael Floyd, Director of Product Management for Cryogenic Systems, Lake Shore Cryotronics The Rising Price of Helium Helium is a nonrenewable resource that is increasingly difficult to obtain reliably. Once released into the atmosphere, it is irretrievable. Limited availability and few sources of production are driving helium prices upward....

By Fabrum Communications Team In a world increasingly focused on the pathway to decarbonization, hydrogen and natural gas are critical components in the global transition towards clean fuels. The technology associated with this transition is a major catalyst for driving change and delivering the sustainability outcomes that are required to...

By Wesley Johnson and Dan Hauser The 31st Space Cryogenics Workshop (SCW) was held at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe in Incline Village, Nevada, from May 13 to 15, 2025, chaired by Wesley Johnson and Daniel Hauser. More than 60 scientists and engineers from around the world convened to discuss...

By Megan Burgasser For the first time, researchers at the University of Cincinnati have visualized the structure of two key protein partners involved in inflammation and immune signaling. This breakthrough—published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences—not only uncovers the structure of the ADAM17 enzyme in complex with...

Researchers have developed a tiny device that extinguishes one of the biggest heat sources in quantum computers, cutting their running costs and potentially bringing these machines closer to commercial reality. Most quantum computers operate at temperatures close to absolute zero (459.67 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 273.15 degrees Celsius) using specialized cooling equipment to...

Over the summer, Dr. Jeff Martin, chair of the physics department at the University of Winnipeg (U of W), tripled his past record for ultracold neutron production at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre. With the help of Dr. Russell Mammei, Dr. Blair Jamieson and several graduate and undergraduate students, Martin...
