    Table of Contents Introduction: Beyond a Universe of Tiny Balls Introduction: Beyond a Universe of Tiny Balls For centuries, the prevailing scientific intuition has depicted the universe as a vast, empty stage upon which fundamental particles—envisioned as infinitesimal, indivisible spheres—enact the drama of existence. This “billiard ball” model, inherited from classical mechanics, offers a powerful…

    New Cryogen-Free Technology for Achieving Superconductivity Cryogen-free technology for superconductivity refers to systems that achieve and maintain the low temperatures required for superconducting states without relying on traditional cryogenic liquids like liquid helium (boiling point ~4.2 K) or liquid nitrogen (boiling point ~77 K). Instead, these systems use closed-cycle cryocoolers, such as pulse tube cryocoolers…
