| RoyalFlusher 2004-11-03 22:10:20 | You could try it on small scale first  I thought CERN is also busy with trying low temperatures on a particle project. |

I'm not sure if we're cooling them as far as 2K though. They can reach higher fields at lower temperatures but unfortunately it also becomes more and more expensive to get them that cold. |
