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 ...

It's cool to be small. Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have miniaturized the optical components required to cool atoms down to a few thousandths of a degree ...

BrightLine Scan tech improves robustness, smooths seams; Eco Cooler is a cooling solution based on water rather than problem gases. The laser beam is guided by robot and laser scanner simultaneously.

The international AEgIS (Antimatter Experiment: gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) collaboration at CERN, in which Prof. Giovanni Consolati of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology ...

Although the optical system will have to be 10 times smaller to laser-cool atoms on a chip, the experiment "is proof of principle that it can be done," McGehee added. "Ultimately, making the light ...

Chinese researcher Yuan Shenghfu, August 4 in Acta Optica Sinica, A has made a new laser cooling system using active structures and optimized gas flow to remove heat while also reducing turbulence and ...

In context: Antimatter on the atomic scale is identical to normal matter. The difference is that it has an opposite charge. Therefore when the two meet, they annihilate each other. It is difficult to ...

There are several different types of laser systems, with carbon dioxide (CO 2) lasers being one of the most popular and effective. In a laser, electrical energy is transformed into light of the same ...

How laser diodes have become the technology of choice in laser projection. Thermal challenges posed by laser diodes. Details on why is thermoelectric cooling the most effective thermal solution. Laser ...
