Deep underground in Sudbury’s SNOLAB, a major new experiment has just reached a critical milestone. The very centre of a series of large, nested copper vessels that make up the heart of the newest and one of the most sensitive detectors in the world has now reached a temperature a hundred...

Phantom Space Corporation, a leader in responsive space transportation, announced it has completed the strategic acquisition of Thermal Management Technologies, LLC (TMT), a pioneer in advanced satellite thermal components. The acquisition strengthens Phantom’s vertical integration strategy and directly supports the rapid development of Phantom Cloud, the company’s orbital data center constellation. TMT...

A unique “spin” on fusion energy research is under development at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, fueling future efforts to harness the power of the stars for the world’s electrical grid.  The lab is part of a combined research endeavor exploring the survivability of a...

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers working on the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment are part of a team who successfully cooled the experiment to its base temperature—the temperature required for the superconducting detectors to become operational, which is hundreds of times colder than outer space. Reaching base...

Researchers have discovered evidence that superconductivity can be controlled by influencing the surrounding environment, a finding that may lead to more efficient electronics down the road, according to a new study.  Superconductivity, or the ability of certain materials to conduct electric currents without any energy loss when cooled below a critical...
