NASA is seeking innovative, early-stage space technology proposals from accredited US universities that will enable NASA's future missions and America's leadership in space. Proposals are sought for science instruments, cryogenic propellant storage for long-duration space exploration, optical coatings for astrophysical pursuits, oxygen recovery for life support systems, and to improve...

Air Liquide's newly launched iPad app allows users to quickly access a host of information on the physical and chemical properties of 64 gas molecules (oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.) in their solid, liquid and gaseous states.

Dr. Joel Ullom, NIST, writes in his guest column: "Cryogenic techniques are widely used in industry and medical imaging. However, cooling to temperatures near 1K and below (into the millikelvin range) remains rare. Such ultralow temperatures (ULTs) are largely confined to research laboratories where they are a powerful tool for...

In his guest column, Dr. Lance Cooley writes, "We are now beginning to evolve our present knowledge about producing high-gradient cavities to take on goals of high-Q CW cavities. The starting point for this transition is clearly to explore simple adaptations of the present ILC process. But it is not...

The American College of Cryosurgery, founded in 1977, hosted its first meeting January 2-7, 2013, after a hiatus of nearly ten years. The meeting venues provided a unique experience for participants and accompanying guests. A land-based session was held at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Miami Hotel.
