A startup backed by Sandia National Laboratories thinks it's found a cool new way to keep the world's supercomputers and datacenters cool enough to run efficiently: Zap ‘em with lasers.… Yes, we are ...
Laser cooling has emerged as a transformative methodology for controlling the motion of atoms and molecules, utilising the momentum of light to reduce thermal motion at ultra‐low temperatures. This ...
Modern high-performance chips are marvels of engineering, containing tens of billions of transistors. The problem is, you can’t use them all at once. If you did, you would create hot spots—high ...
Lasers may have been the sci-fi weapon of choice to burn or blow things up &#8212 but that could change. A team of University of Washington scientists have invented a method to use the beams in a cool ...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is booming. According to a recent report from Persistence Market Research, the sector is currently on pace to grow by more than 22% this year and is expected to double in ...
Heat from the semiconductor is transformed into radiation which is emitted into the room. This is really just a very sophisticated refrigerator. Heat is absorbed by "low" temperature atoms in the ...
Laser cooling and optical refrigeration are advanced techniques that utilise the interaction of laser light with matter to remove thermal energy from solids. Based on the principles of anti-Stokes ...
Laser cooling isn't a new idea, but this is the first time it's actually worked in real-world conditions. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share on Reddit ...
The international AEgIS (Antimatter Experiment: gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) collaboration at CERN, in which Prof. Giovanni Consolati of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology ...
It needs space, weight, power and cooling which can be a challenge on our current surface combatants. The engineering center of gravity of the engineering behind shipboard lasers is captured by that ...
An artistic illustration of the movement of an antihydrogen atom in the ALPHA magnetic trap, before (grey) and after (blue) laser cooling. The images show various lengths of the antihydrogen's track.
Simone Colombo is developing a faster method for cooling gases with a host of quantum applications Image by Gerd Altmann from ...
