Radioactive tracer system detects oil contaminants in fluid lines

Radioactive tracer system continuously detects and monitors lubricating oil contamination in high pressure fluid lines

Sensor detects hydrocarbon oil contaminants in fluid lines

Sensor with ultraviolet light monitors and detects hydrocarbon oil contaminants present in fluid lines. The light causes the oil particles to fluoresce. This light emitted by the oil particle is detected by a photocell which is relatively insensitive to ultraviolet radiation

Translational cooling and storage of protonated proteins in an ion trap at subkelvin temperatures

Gas-phase multiply charged proteins have been sympathetically cooled to translational temperatures below 1 K by Coulomb interaction with laser-cooled barium ions in a linear ion trap. In one case, an ensemble of 53 cytochrome c molecules (mass ~ 12390 amu, charge +17 e) was cooled by ~ 160 laser-cooled barium ions to less than 0.75 K. Storage times of more than 20 minutes have been observed and could easily be extended to more than an hour. The technique is applicable to a wide variety of complex molecules.Comment: same version as published in Phys. Rev.
