A course in Cryogenic Systems and Design is offering students entrée into a much in demand area that is essential in a diverse range of applications. Cryogenics involves the scientific basis, design and practical applications of low-temperature systems and components. It is used in space exploration, high energy physics, particle accelerators and detectors, fusion energy systems, hydrogen based clean energy systems, liquefied natural gas, quantum computing, sensors, medicine and food preservation to name a few applications. There are diverse opportunities and career tracks one can pursue in this field including research, technology, and business. The online course is offered by four experts from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). They are Arkadiy Klebaner, Ram Dhuley, Matthew Hollister and David Montanari. Together they have decades of experience in the cryogenic area. They are led by Arkadiy Klebaner. The course is an online Stony Brook University graduate physics course with about 18 students attending in Fall 2021 both from the Stony Brook Ernest Courant Traineeship in Accelerator Science and Engineering program and from other universities and US National Laboratories. Eighteen students is a large size for a graduate physics course. The instructors feel this is indicative of interest both from students and from trained professionals. “Cryogenics” is a word of Greek origin (“Kryos” is frost and “Gen” is to generate). It is the science and technology of temperatures below 120 degrees Kelvin. The temperature of the universe is 2.7 degrees Kelvin. The lowest temperature ever achieved is 280 thousandth of a billionth degree Kelvin. Historically, globalization (world trade) stimulated a need for developing new refrigeration methods and advance thermal science. In 1877 air was liquified and in 1898 oxygen was liquified at 14 degrees Kelvin. Over the years a broad range of applications at various temperatures have been implemented. For a long time there has been a strong demand for people trained in cryogenics from both the US National Laboratories and from industry. People trained in cryogenics work in the design, engineering, and the operation of various cryogenic systems. New and upcoming areas include liquefaction and storage of hydrogen as a clean energy source, fuels and materials for supporting the growing area of space travel, the quest for human inhabitation of Mars, and nuclear fusion – all of which make use of cryogenics to a great extent. There are also a number of large physics projects in the multi-billion dollar range that heavily rely on people trained in cryogenics. These include LBNF ( https://lbnf-dune.fnal.gov/ ), PIP-II ( https://pip2.fnal.gov/ ) and the EIC ( https://www.bnl.gov/eic/ ) This is a good demonstration of the appealing opportunities that await students and workers in today and tomorrow’s technological world.

Competition between slicing and buckling underlies the erratic nature of paper cutsSif fink arnbjerg-nielsen, matthew d. biviano, and kaare h. jensen, phys. rev. e 110 , 025003 – published 23 august 2024.
By enabling the dissemination and storage of information, paper has been central to human culture for more than a millennium. Its use is, however, associated with a common injury: the paper cut. Surprisingly, the physics underpinning a flexible sheet of paper slicing into soft tissues remains unresolved. In particular, the unpredictable occurrence of paper cuts, often restricted to a limited thickness range, has not been explained. Here we visualize and quantify the motion, deformation, and stresses during paper cuts, uncovering a remarkably complex relationship between cutting, geometry, and material properties. A model based on the hypothesis that a competition between slicing and buckling controls the probability of initiating a paper cut is developed and successfully validated. This explains why paper with a specific thickness is most hazardous ( 65 µ m , corresponding, e.g., to dot matrix paper) and suggests a probabilistic interpretation of irregular occurrence of paper cuts. Stimulated by these findings, we finally show how a recyclable cutting tool can harness the surprising power of paper.

Download & ShareThe physics of paper cuts. (a) Paper cuts are a common injury that can occur if skin contacts a sheet of paper (thickness t , area density ρ ). It causes significant pain and discomfort and is often associated with a slicing motion (arrow). The underlying physical processes remain poorly understood. (b) However, it is well established that cuts frequently occur in the thickness range of t = 0.05 − 0.1 mm (this range includes magazines and office paper) [ 5 ], whereas thinner and thicker paper is relatively safe. We propose that a competition between slicing and buckling determines which paper types can cut. If the sheet is too thin, it buckles and loses structural integrity before initiating a fracture. In contrast, thicker sheets smoothly indent the surface and distribute the load over a greater area. The slicing motion enhances the likelihood of cutting, which peaks at the most hazardous thickness t h ≈ 65 µ m (see Fig. 2 ). Experimental setup and data classification scheme. (a) Schematic of the experiment used to quantify contact processes between a soft solid and a sheet of paper in relative motion. The standardized paper and gelatin samples were held by 3D-printed clamps. The vertical indentation depth, d , the speed (arrow), and the slicing angle ϕ of the paper sheet were controlled using a micromanipulator. A video of each experiment was recorded and the stresses [normal ( σ n ) and tangential ( σ t ) to the gelatin surface] were measured using two load cells. (b–d) Representative data illustrating three regimes. (b) Thin paper ( t = 30 µ m , ϕ = 15 ∘ ) buckles because the normal load exceeds the buckling threshold σ b before reaching peak applied stress, σ a > σ b . (c) Intermediate paper ( t = 65 µ m , ϕ = 15 ∘ ) cuts because the cutting threshold σ n , c is exceeded before reaching σ b or σ a . (d) Finally, thick paper ( t = 220 µ m , ϕ = 15 ∘ ) indents the surface because the dispersed normal force is insufficient to breach the surface or buckle the paper. (See also Supplemental Video S1 [ 14 ] and additional details in the text.) A competition between slicing and buckling governs paper cuts. The phase diagram shows the outcome of each experiment (dots) as a function of thickness t and slicing angle ϕ . The outcome of a cutting attempt depends on how the thresholds relate to each other. If ϕ < ϕ h , then there exists a range of thicknesses for which σ n , c is lower than both σ a and σ b where cutting is observed. When the slicing angle ϕ is sufficiently small, nearly all types of paper cuts (red shaded domain, label: cutting). However, the probability peaks at the most hazardous thickness t h ≈ 65 µ m (between printed magazines and office paper) and angle ϕ h ≈ 20 ∘ . Outside this zone, the peak applied stress either exceeds the buckling limit (label: buckling) or simply causes an indentation (label: indentation) (top right). The mechanical model [Eqs. ( 1, 2, 3, 4 )] is consistent with observations (solid lines mark model transitions between domains). Error bars: t ± 5 µ m and ϕ ± 2 ∘ . See additional details in the text. The Papermachete uses discarded traction sections of dot-matrix paper as a blade. (a) Technical drawing and (b) photograph of the recyclable paper-knife. The single-use paper blade is fixed in the clip by magnets while the handle facilitates convenient use. (c) The Papermachete can cut into a variety of plant- and animal-based products. The cuts were performed by hand at the slicing angle of ϕ ≈ 10 ∘ at speeds of approximately 1 cm/s in the direction of the arrow. Definitions of surface characteristics after the experiment. The horizontal line is the edge and is included to demonstrate the cut into the sample. Measured maximum applied stress σ a plotted as a function of relative indentation depth d / t (dots). An unweighted least-squares to Eq. ( 2 ) yields the estimate E s = 3.13 ± 0.08 kPa (solid line). Experimentally measured buckling force compared to Euler's beam equation, which stipulates F b ∼ E p t 3 w / h 2 . Here, E p is the paper's elastic modulus, t and w its thickness and width, and h the free height of the sheet (Fig. 1 in the text). Data compare reasonably well with the simple model. The normal stress σ n , c required for the onset of cutting diminishes with slicing angle ϕ . Our experimental data (blue) as well as data from Reyssat et al. [ 11 ] are not inconsistent with a linear fit according to Eq. ( 7 ): (solid line) derived from the numerical model proposed [ 11 ]. The fitted slope is the material parameter σ t , c = 0.84 ± 0.06 MPa. Phase diagram constructed for paper height h = 28 mm (i.e., twice the height used to construct the phase diagram in Fig. 3 ). Peaks at the most hazardous thickness t h ≈ 105 µ m m (between printed magazines and office paper) and angle ϕ h ≈ 12 ∘ . Sign up to receive regular email alerts from Physical Review E

How Do I Apply?
Applying to the Biological Engineering PhD programThank you for your interest in MIT BE – we want to receive your application! This page explains the application process and provides information specific to our program that you may use to strengthen your application. Our evaluation process begins with your electronic application folder and proceeds through an on-site interview. We believe that our diverse, welcoming, and collaborative community fosters the most effective environment for training students to conduct world-class research. To maintain and further strengthen our culture, we depend on continuing to receive applications representing a broad range of academic and personal backgrounds. From 2019-2022, we invited applicants from 64 different undergraduate institutions holding and expecting bachelors degrees in many different disciplines to interview for admission. Of applicants invited to interview from 2019-2022, about 52% self-identified as female, and more than 18% self-identified as underrepresented minorities (as defined by MIT). Many students join the program immediately after completing their undergraduate studies, while others have already received advanced degrees or acquired post-baccalaureate professional experience. The guidance below is intended to help prospective students understand the aspects of academic preparation and experience that poise applicants for success in our program and how to present this information effectively in their application materials. This guidance is not intended to describe any “ideal” application profile or minimum standards for admission (no quantitative standards exist). Every complete application received is reviewed holistically by BE faculty. Application to MIT BE is competitive, with fewer than 10% of applicants receiving an offer to interview each year (we offer admission to the majority of interviewees). Applicants holding international undergraduate degrees may apply, and such applicants received about 3% of the interview offers made from 2019-2022. Interview offers are communicated asynchronously to applicants in January and February each year. Evaluation of applications for PhD study in BE particularly focuses on:
Academic preparation. Success in the challenging coursework and research components of the MIT BE PhD program requires a strong academic background in both biology and quantitative engineering or science. While many successful applicants hold undergraduate engineering degrees and have completed substantial coursework in biology, there are many different ways to demonstrate the academic preparation needed. Applicants whose principal degree is quantitative, computational, engineering, or in the physical sciences can bolster their training in biology by taking core biology courses like biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology. Applicants whose principal degree is in a life science field can acquire quantitative training in courses beyond calculus, biostatistics, and programming/informatics such as differential equations, linear algebra, and advanced courses in probability, statistics, analysis, and computer science. Understanding that every applicant’s personal and college experience is unique and that grading practices differ, BE has no minimum grade point average (GPA) requirement. We strongly consider the factors other than GPA described on this page in our admissions process. However, most applicants receiving an interview offer have a GPA in the A range (>3.6 on an A = 4.0 scale), and from 2019-2022 the median GPA of interviewees was 3.94. Many applicants with high GPAs do not receive interview invitations, and applicants with GPAs below the A range may be competitive for admission in our holistic evaluation process given other extraordinary aspects of their academic record, experiences, and achievements detailed in their application materials. Applicant statement. This application component is a free-form opportunity to introduce yourself in writing to the admissions committee, explain your interest in Biological Engineering at MIT, and contextualize other application components including your academic record, research experience, and letters of recommendation. The admissions committee wants to hear why PhD-level training in Biological Engineering under the mentorship of MIT BE faculty is right for you, which research groups you may be interested in joining, how you have prepared to receive PhD training, and how this training may power your aspirations for the future. The MIT BE Communications Lab CommKit has additional content on writing statements of purpose . While not a particular focus of our evaluation, the statement is an opportunity to directly demonstrate your writing skills and attention to detail. Letters of recommendation provide crucial evidence of research aptitude in successful applications. The most impactful support letters come from your faculty research supervisor(s) who know you well and have substantial experience advising PhD students. Support letters from other research supervisors, academic advisors, or course instructors may also be included. You can find general guidance (not specific to applications to study in the BE PhD program) on requesting letters of recommendation and on support letter content from the Biological Engineering Communication Lab. To apply , go to the online application and create a user id and password. You do not need to complete the entire application in one sitting. You may begin the application, save it, and return to it at a later time using your user ID and password. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications ahead of the deadline and are responsible for ensuring that all admissions credentials are submitted on time. Your application will not be reviewed until all materials have been received. There is no separate application for financial support; all admitted applicants are offered a full support package. The BE Department does not require the standardized Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test as part of our application process, but will consider scores if provided by the applicant. To apply follow these steps. 1. Fill out the online application by 23:59, EST, December 15. You will be providing the following information:
