These include low temperature physics, cosmology, and nanotechnology with its wide-ranging applicability to material science, neuroscience, Earth sciences and satellite technology.  To learn more about Mino’s career you can download the "Tribute" <http://multimedia.seti.org/mino/Tribute.pdf>, which outlines his journey from (i) low-temperature physics and superconductivity at the ETH Zürich to (ii) building one remarkable milliKelvin refrigerator for the US-Japan IRTS mission at UC Berkeley and ISAS in Japan to (iii) a decade in cosmology, to (iv) being on the micro-bolometer team at NASA Goddard for the HAWC instrument on SOFIA, to (v) developing at AFRL the nanotechnology portfolio for the entire Air Force.  This was followed by six years at the NASA Ames Research Center, where Mino formulated his far-ahead ideas about swarms of capable nanosats circling the Earth, which have since started to become a reality. He engaged in a broad range of nanotechnology projects, including novel applications in neuroscience well before he himself was struck by the deadly brain tumor.Springer Proceedings in Physics,0930-8989 ;150Physical measurementsMeasurement   Space sciencesNanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresCosmologyLow temperature physicsLow temperaturesMeasurement Science and Instrumentationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Nanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Low Temperature Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130Physical measurements.Measurement   .Space sciences.Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Cosmology.Low temperature physics.Low temperatures.Measurement Science and Instrumentation.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Nanoscale Science and Technology.Cosmology.Low Temperature Physics.500.5520523.1530530.8536.56620.5Freund Friedemannedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLanghoff Stephanieedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300392603321Universe of Scales: From Nanotechnology to Cosmology1770379UNINA
