All-Solid-State Cryocooler Realized

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ALBEQUERQUE, NM, Feb. 2, 2010 – The first-ever all-solid-state cryocooler, which allows coolers to reach temperatures so cold that they can only be obtained by liquefying gases, has been created for applications in airborne and spaceborne sensors. The team, led by University of New Mexico professor, Dr. Mansoor Sheik-Bahae, under an Air Force Office of Scientific Research and multi-university grant, says that this discovery may lead to advances in superconducting electronics because it would enable miniaturization for cooling purposes. Graduate students Denis Seletskiy and Seth Melgaard designed and performed...Read full article
