{Image Credit: J. Britton/NIST} Gaithersburg, MD, USA — Visible and ultraviolet laser light has been used for years to cool trapped atoms—and more recently larger objects—by reducing the extent of their thermal motion. Now, applying a different form of radiation for a similar purpose, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have [...]

Westerville,OH, USA — Each Lake Shore Rox™ model adheres to a single resistance versus temperature curve. Ruthenium oxide temperature sensors are thick-film resistors used in applications involving magnetic fields. These composite sensors consist of bismuth ruthenate, ruthenium oxides, binders, and other compounds that allow them to obtain the necessary temperature and resistance characteristics. RX-102A The [...]
