News from the British Cryogenic Cluster: Register NOW for Cluster Day next Thursday - September 10 !
 Issue Number 86
Dear <<First Name>>
 
At the time ICEC 28 was due to take place (we would have been in Hangzhou this week but for its two-year postponement) we are delighted to confirm this year’s British Cryogenic Cluster gathering on the rescheduled date of Thursday September 10 – i.e. next week !
 
Instead of our meeting as planned in the Higgs Building on Blackford Hill in Edinburgh, the site of the old Royal Observatory and home of STFC’s UK Astronomy Technology Centre, we have been rescued by the Institute of Refrigeration (a long-time Sponsor of the BCC.)  They are kindly hosting this year’s cut-down Cluster Day on a virtual platform with speakers illustrating the brilliant work in the “Scottish Cryogenic Cluster” at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities.
 
Quan Li will open the talks for Edinburgh, Min Zhang will speak about Cryogenic Power Applications from Strathclyde, and Professor Robert Hadfield will take care of Cryogenics in Quantum Applications (Glasgow being the UK Quantum Technology Hub for Imaging, and Quantum being a Big subject in the UK this week.)  Register here for this 10th Cryogenic Cluster Day, starting at 10.15am on Thursday September 10.
 
It would be Pure Dead Brilliant as they say in Glasgow if you can join us and tune in !

Interesting repositioning at Chart Industries with disposal of formerly MVE CryoBio business now considered “non-core” and stepped up focus on Hydrogen and Clean Energy.
 
And more corporate gymnastics with Lake Shore Cryotronics acquisition of Janis Research business (excluding dilution fridge activity which is strong in Quantum Computing) –  and which means you can buy the product lines acquired by Lake Shore through Cluster Member Quantum Design in the UK.  Here’s the August Quantum Design Newsletter featuring celebration of Helium Conservation Day.
 
physicsworld interviews Paul Kelly at ICEoxford on their DRYICE cryostat design.

Not strictly Cryogenics, but this story on the Cold Chain required for distribution of COVID 19 Vaccines is one that arguably should exercise all of us associated with the world of Low Temperature.

Cryobiology

gasworld recently published this feature reviewing CryoBiology, though the focus appears to be Cryonics for which it is not easy to find substantial support …

Energy

ITER got exposure in The Guardian and on The BBC as it entered the assembly phase.  Features include comment from Cluster Members UKAEA at Culham and Tokamak Energy on Milton Park.

Quantum
