Physics World Focus on Vacuum and Instruments 2017
This Physics World Focus looks at technologies that make physics research and advanced manufacturing possible. Alongside a report on futuristic vacuum-based transport systems, there are articles about cryogenics and helium, and an overview of what instrument designers need to know about intellectual property. The cover story examines how instruments bound for the harsh environment of space are tested in specialized vacuum and high-pressure chambers. Finally, explore how Dutch firm Janssen Precision Engineering began by designing equipment for ambient environments, but now specializes in vacuum and cryogenics.
