Engineering Reliable Cryogenic Systems
This webinar is run by Physics Today | Wiley and sponsored by our partners, Lake Shore Cryotronics
Breakthrough discoveries in quantum technologies, superconductivity, materials science, and next-generation semiconductor devices depend on reliable cryogenic infrastructure. Today’s experimental and testing demands require ultra-stable temperatures, precise control, and seamless data integration. This complexity makes designing and maintaining effective low-temperature systems more challenging than ever.
Poor system design causes costly downtime, compromised data quality, and research delays that impact both academic funding and product development timelines. This webinar explores the engineering challenges facing cryogenic researchers and early-stage semiconductor device test engineers. Understanding how to design cryogenic systems is now essential for competitive research programs and emerging technology development.
Viewers will learn how to design robust low-temperature environments with modern instrumentation that streamlines system integration while coordinating temperature control, measurement, and data acquisition. The session features real-world solutions that reduce troubleshooting time, improve measurement confidence, and accelerate both experimental workflows and device characterisation through intelligent system planning.
This presentation is essential for principal investigators, research engineers, laboratory managers, semiconductor test engineers, device characterisation specialists, graduate students, and technical staff working at low temperatures. Whether you’re starting a new lab, upgrading old systems, or improving current setups, you’ll gain practical insights to boost productivity and results in cryogenic systems.
