Superconductivity and quantum computing have rapidly evolved from theoretical frontiers to real-world technologies. The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized breakthroughs in superconducting quantum circuits that promise ultra-powerful computing systems. Yet these technologies demand cryogenic operating conditions, near absolute zero, where most materials lose their useful properties. Identifying materials that...

Valcor Engineering Corporation, a longtime designer and manufacturer of precision fluid and motion control components—including cryogenic solenoid valves—has expanded its in-house testing resources with the addition of a new Vibration Laboratory at its Springfield, New Jersey headquarters. The new facility provides full 3-axis (X, Y, Z) vibration testing, including sine...

As the LNG industry has grown, so has the number of suppliers who serve that market. No one knows that better, perhaps, than Delta Machine & Ironworks. The Baton Rouge-based fabricator is rapidly becoming the “go to” supplier of one of the most indisputably vital support products on LNG jobsites. Over...

Rocket Lab Corporation, a global leader in launch services and space systems, announced the clearance of their Systems Integration Review (SIR) and completion of their Photon spacecraft for Eta Space and NASA’s LOXSAT mission. LOXSAT is an on-orbit technology demonstration of a cryogenic fluid management system, that will inform the...

  The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis, “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit.” Clarke, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, collaborates with the Axion Dark...

By: Bethany Mauger, Will Whelton Michigan State University physicists work every day to advance quantum computing and help unravel the mysteries of the universe. Now, two are receiving private $1.3 million five-year grants that will further launch their research and give them more opportunities to collaborate. Johannes Pollanen, the Cowen Distinguished Chair...
