Amazing bit of machining done by summer student Justin. We will use this to help us measure the thermal contraction of 3D printed materials.

New pump for the lab. It is so quiet compared to the old one that when I turned it on I thought it wasn't working.

The fridge is a cryogen free system that was #madeatsacstate with many components designed and built by undergraduate students!
Now on to the science!
English
We finally have a working fridge in the lab! I guess we are now officially the coolest place in Sacramento!

Is there any sweeter sound than that of a pulse tube cryocooler?

It's never a good sign when your cryostat is upside down on the bench on a Friday afternoon.

Today's development: heat sink bobbins have been named Bilbo, as in Bilbo Bobbins

Back in the lab this summer with students Jack and Ryann!

Finally getting some time back in the lab, and I can tell that this pumping line is really going to suck!

Hooray, that means we start 20 K closer to liquid helium!

As part of our efforts to conserve energy and create a green campus, over winter break your offices will be kept at a temperature just warm enough to keep the office plumbing from freezing.

And we, at the sac state low temperature physics lab, continue on that chapter of low-temperature helium research.
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes was the first person to liquefy helium - opening up an entirely new chapter in low-temperature physics. Onnes, born #OTD 1853, used an ingenious apparatus to cool helium to liquid form. He was awarded the 1913 Physics Prize for his discovery.
