Transition Edge Sensors arrive in ancient Rome

In September 2013, QMC Instruments Ltd. exhibited the revolutionary cryogen-free THz bolometer system technology at two major European conferences. From September 1st to 6th we were at IRMMW-THz 2013 in Mainz, Germany, and during following week at the 6th UK/Europe-China workshop on Millimetre Waves and Terahertz Technologies -  UCMMT13. The latter was held in the beautiful setting of the Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo, in Rome. We took this opportunity to create the image shown below which presents an interesting contrast between brand new technology and works of art more than 2000 years old.
