A new way to cool magnets to the extremely low temperatures needed for MRI machines may hold the answer to overcoming the effects of the increasing global helium shortage. Well-known for its use in party balloons, helium is also used in the cooling of superconducting magnets, with the main commercial application being in MRI (magnetic resonant imaging) scanners and particle … [Read more...]
Laser Cooling Method is “One Step Closer” to Smaller Medical Devices, “Self-Cooling” Computer Chips
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a new laser cooling method that could replace extreme refrigerant-based cooling systems in medical devices and satellite cameras and help develop futuristic computer chips capable of cooling themselves. If we are able to harness the power of laser cooling, it would mean that medical devices that … [Read more...]
