Summary
Liquid helium (LHe) is a strategically important and finite resource that enables research at the frontiers of quantum science and engineering, biomedical fields, and fundamental physics. At Colorado State University (CSU), LHe supports rapidly growing programs in quantum materials, quantum computing hardware, nanophotonics, precision measurements, particle physics, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Responsible recovery and recycling of LHe are essential for both sustainability and long-term research productivity. This award will expand CSU’s helium recovery infrastructure by
