Review of Scientific Instruments is a journal published monthly by the American Institute of Physics. Its area of interest is scientific instruments, apparatus, and techniques.
Measuring the properties of superconducting materials in magnetic fields at close to absolute zero temperatures is difficult, but necessary to understand their quantum properties. How cold? Lower than 0.05 Kelvin (-272°C).
