Accelerator Opens in Michigan | GENH2 Founder to Give Keynote | IBM THROWBACK CRYO COMPUTER | HYDROGEN FUEL FUTURE FOR TRUCKING
World’s most powerful heavy-ion accelerator to open in Michigan
5/1/2022
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams has opened at Michigan State University. The FRIB accelerator will create rare isotopes that can be isolated into a beam and used for study. Another accelerator will smash the isotopes so scientists can learn more about the physics of stars and related phenomena. The FRIB features it’s own cryogenic plant for producing liquid helium.

IBM To Make Cryogenic Computers
5/17/22
In Electronic Weekly’s May 23rd edition from 1961, IBM announced that it would have the first commercial application of cryogenics in computers by 1964. Electronics Weekly has posted the article to its website. IBM believed cryogenic elements would improve reliability and lower computing costs. Their cryogenic computer operated in a liquid helium environment so that it could use superconducting switches called cryotrons. Read more via Electronics Weekly
Hydrogen Likely to Be Next Fuel for Trucking, Panelists Say
5/17/2022
Is the future of hydrogen-fueled trucking gaseous hydrogen or liquid hydrogen? An expert panel at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo discussed hydrogen infrastructure options, challenges, and opportunities. There could be an expensive mismatch if truckstops build gaseous hydrogen infrastructure, but truck manufacturers build liquid hydrogen vehicles. One advantage to liquid hydrogen is its purity. “I do believe the long-term future will be liquid hydrogen, especially in commercial vehicles.” said GenH2 CEO Cody Bateman.
