The system is based on two liquids which are adsorbed. As the sensor generates heat, the liquids desorb and the pressure builds up, it can then move to an expansion vessel which is held at a cooler temperature and the liquid then adsorb together again. This technique requires no mechanical compression and there are less vibration, leading to less wear and tear of components. It is being developed in a joint collaboration between UTwente and Dutch Space.

The Coolest Antiprotons - 2 views

phy antiprotons antihydrogen

shared by pacome delva on 05 Jul 10 - Cached

Researchers cooled a cloud of about 4,000 antiprotons down to 9 kelvin using a standard approach for cooling atoms that has never been used with charged particles or ions. The technique could provide a new way to create and trap antihydrogen, which could help researchers probe a basic symmetry of nature.

hydrogen and antihydrogen should share many basic traits, like mass, magnetic moment, and emission spectrum. If antihydrogen and hydrogen have even slightly different spectra, it indicates some new physics principles beyond the standard model, a very big deal.

yeah the problem is the amount of antimatter you can get and more specifically how to trap it. I found that you would need around one gram to go to the outer Solar System. So we are far from that, but finding an efficient way to trap it, with an electromagnetic trap rather than solid walls is a first step !

a memristor system would work far faster, and with far less energy, than a traditional computer.

Second, memristors can be much smaller than transistors.

Lastly, unlike transistors, which only work linearly, memristors can form three-dimensional networks

We've used it a bit with Juxi and Leopold for the work on the new issue of acta futura, and I think it is quite nice. The problem right now is that only a few people in the team have an account (and I have exhausted my invitations). Maybe you have one or two you are willing to share? :)
