| | A multi-layer structure, comprising 20 layers of aluminised polyester films originally developed for space, can insulate for temperature differences of up to 300 Kelvin. This material is now being used to insulate the vacuum chambers of tomographs which use liquid helium at a temperature of –270ºC to cool the vacuum chamber. | | | | |
