Cryogenics chilled systems at CeBIT
News If you want to get a system running really cool, there's only one option: liquid nitrogen, as seen in the wings of the Foxconn stand at CeBIT. Luckily liquid nitrogen is a very good insulator so a little spillage won't harm the electronics.

huh?
Talkback I thought they used liquid nitrogen and helium for that! "In preparation for Wednesday's initiation, 37,000 tonnes of equipment had to be cooled down by 300°C to 1.9° above absolute zero (-271°C), using the world's most advanced superconducting...

Sun has betrayed us all
Talkback And I just came up with something that I will patent in the US: A gas mixture of approx 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygene. Yet another competitive advantage for the rest of the world. We will surely work hard to keep your lawyers out of our courts.

Disk encryption 'no silver bullet'
News With liquid nitrogen, an attacker could take days to retrieve the data if needed. Disk encryption, which people rely on for protecting sensitive data on laptops, can fairly easily be foiled, security researchers said in presenting a paper on a...

Breaking on through to 4G
News The hotter the system, the more the electrons move and the higher the noise level - which is why radio astronomers dunk their receivers in liquid nitrogen and other cryogenic coolants. Once every two or three years, a new company appears and makes...
