  Cleveland OH (SPX) Feb 05, 2020 When deep space exploration missions launch, like NASA's future Artemis missions to the Moon, they carry liquids with them for fuel and life support systems. These liquids are stored at cryogenic temperatures, which range from -243 to -423 degrees F, and to be usable, they need to remain cold and in a liquid state. But as the extreme environment of space warms a spacecraft, the fuels begin to evaporate or "boiloff." "As energy from the Sun, Earth, and even the Moon enters the cryogenic propellant ... read more |

 Vienna, Austria (SPX) Feb 03, 2020 
It is well known that quantum properties of individual atoms can be controlled and manipulated by laser light. Even large clouds of hundreds of millions of atoms can be pushed into the quantum regime, giving rise to macroscopic quantum states of matter such as quantum gases or Bose-Einstein condensates, which nowadays are also widely used in quantum technologies.
An exciting next step is t ... more |
