Linde introduces new N2 pressure booster

Gas-assist injection molders (GAIM) can improve efficiency and quality -- even on lightweight parts and difficult geometries -- with the help of a new liquid nitrogen (N2) pressure booster from Linde North America.

Argonne named a “Best Place” for postdocs to work

For postdoctoral scholars, or postdocs, Argonne National Laboratory is the 6th best place to work in the United States, according to The Scientist, a life sciences magazine.

At DOE, body blows to fusion, nuclear physics and particle physics

Overall, the 2013 budget numbers for the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Science, the single largest funder of physical sciences research in the United States, look reasonably good. The office would see its budget climb by 2.4% to $4.992 billion. Three of the office's six major research programs, however,...

CERN experiment makes spectroscopic measurement of antihydrogen

In a paper published online on March 7 by the journal Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms.

Fab team scales up production of dark matter detectors

It's one thing to design and build a brand-new piece of technology, to test it and tune it until it works just right. It's an entirely different matter to take that one-of-a-kind instrument and mass-produce it.

IBM captures first-ever image of single-molecule charge distribution

IBM scientists were recently able to measure for the first time how charge is distributed within a single molecule.

Helium II

Helium II (He II) refers to the second liquid phase of the most abundant helium isotope (4He). Helium II is also referred to as superfluid helium. Helium II occurs once the temperature of the liquid helium drops below 2.17K. The phase transition between the first liquid phase of Helium (referred...

You are encouraged to read Cryo Central’s History...

Bose-Einstein Condensate

A Bose-Einstein condensate, first proposed in 1925 by Albert Einstein based on work done by Satyendra Nath Bose (the same Bose from whom the term boson is derived), is a super-cold state of matter in which almost all of the individual atoms have “condensed” down to the lowest possible quantum...

Cold Technology for Pest Control

While it does not reach temperatures cold enough to be called cryogenic, carbon dioxide snow is at the heart of a new way of dealing with unwanted pests. It utilizes a quick freezing process that takes advantage of the properties of carbon dioxide snow and has a number of benefits...

Cryogenic Finishing

The following 3 articles discuss the uses and procedures of various type of cryogenic finishing. 1) By Robin A. Rhodes, Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. rrhodes@nitrofreeze.com Cryogenic Deflashing is employed to remove undesired residual mold flash that remains on molded parts after they are removed or ejected from the...
