Geometric anti-spring works near absolute zero, suppressing vibrations below 0.185 hertz
Key Points
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.
