The University of Twente, Netherlands, alongside DEMCON kryoz and Cooll, has received €2.6mm in funding to develop an advanced cooling system for the Einstein Telescope. The system is crucial for detecting gravitational waves and will employ a three-stage process using neon, hydrogen, and helium to achieve temperatures as low as -263°C. This breakthrough technology aims to significantly enhance the telescope's ability to conduct precise measurements and explore the universe's deepest secrets. We believe that this is another avenue for helium demand growth.
