Almost all MRI machines today use superconducting coils for generating their magnetic fields, but other industrial applications of superconductivity, such as electricity transmission, are still in their infancy. And the promise of room temperature superconductors has yet to be realized. Yet, important research continues and scientists will gather on September 5-9 at the Applied Superconductivity […]
Future nuclear power plan designs will use large numbers of metallic fuel pins made of uranium alloys, but existing casting methods are slow and costly. Creare has won an SBIR Phase II award from US DOE to continue development of an innovative continuous casting to produce precision metal pins at very low cost. Creare will […]
Since its humble beginning in a New Hampshire farmhouse in 1961, Creare has delivered cutting-edge R&D engineering services for 55 years. We want to thank our many industry and government customers who have turned to Creare to solve their most challenging problems. Our 140 employees are thrilled to be a part of your success and […]
Turboelectric aircraft with gas turbines driving electric generators connected to electric propulsion motors have the potential to transform future aircraft designs by decoupling power generation from propulsion. The power density requirements can only be achieved with superconductors, which in turn require lightweight, high-capacity cryocoolers. In this NASA SBIR Phase II project, Creare will fabricate and […]
Creare has developed a silicon micro-machined recuperator that helps make turbo-Brayton cryocoolers smaller and lighter. The micro-slots in the silicon plates of the heat exchanger are produced using photo-etching techniques and provide enhanced heat transfer.
The use of acoustic imaging for mine detection is difficult due to acoustic clutter, interactions with the seafloor, and penetration of sound into the sediment. Creare has won an STTR Phase II Award from the Naval Air Warfare Center to further develop and test its Seabed Imaging System (SIS). The Creare SIS provides fully automated […]
