Cryogenics seminars

Heterostructured metals combine soft and hard regions to generate internal mechanical interactions that improve strength and ductility. This talk explains how these architectures outperform conventional alloys and examines ReMade@ARI results on cryogenic deformation. Cascading crystal-defect mechanisms maintain work hardening as deformation proceeds. The same architectures can give bulk metals antimicrobial activity while retaining durability, connecting mechanical performance with public-health functionality. The research considers scalable multifunctional materials for medical devices, water infrastructure, energy systems and cryogenic transport.

The Princeton Axion Search targets dark-matter axions between the mass ranges addressed by cavity haloscopes and DMRadio. This talk describes cryogenics, magnets, resonators and near-quantum-limited amplifiers for the 200–500 MHz range. It also reviews collaborations on superconducting resonators, conduction-cooled solenoids and readout strategies that aim to exceed the standard quantum limit.
