Geometric anti-spring works near absolute zero, suppressing vibrations below 0.185 hertz
Physicists and instrument makers in Leiden have succeeded in optimizing a spring that almost completely filters out vibrations at temperatures near absolute zero. This breakthrough opens the door to a new generation of highly sensitive experiments. The research is published in the journal Measurement Science and Technology.
The continuous drive for higher precision and sensitivity in quantum and nanotechnological experiments necessitates breakthroughs in vibration isolation at extreme conditions.
