The Tiniest Superfluid Circuit in Nature
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new analysis of heavy-ion collision experiments uncovers evidence that two colliding nuclei behave like a Josephson junction—a device in which Cooper pairs tunnel through barrier between superfluids.

Kinesin: world's tiniest biped.
Kinesin, an essential motor protein that moves intracellular cargo along microtubules, walks like a person. When we walk, our feet exchange roles with each step, one moving and one remaining stationary. The moving foot travels twice as far as our torso during a single step, and our body alternates between two configurations (left vs. right leg leading). Recent work shows that kinesin shares all...
متن کاملOn our tiniest foes
Looking at mankind's history, one cannot miss the fact that among all natural and man-made disasters, microbes and viruses have had the biggest impact on man's fate. This is the explicit theme of Viruses, Plagues and History and the implicit topic of The Evolution of HIV. However, one cannot imagine two more widely differing books on this topic: the first one is written in a journalistic style ...

متن کاملSimulation Study on Application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control to the Superfluid Helium Cryogenic Circuit ?
In the 27 km circumference Large Hadron Collider, the temperature of more than 1600 main superconducting magnets is stabilized below 2 K by the Superfluid Helium Cryogenic Circuit. The key component of the circuit’s Standard Cell is an over 100 m long bayonet heat exchanger with two phase flow of superfluid helium, He II, that is integrated into the magnets submerged in a static bath of He II. ...
