On March 4, 2016, JHU Office of Communications announced, that the university is “establishing a cutting-edge crystal growth facility as part of a national research project meant to revolutionize technology used in consumer products”. Our brand-new 300 bar HKZ version is part of this project. As described in the news release, “a key part of the new Johns Hopkins crystal growth center will be a new piece of laboratory equipment now being custom built in Germany. …The machine will allow researchers to put materials under enormous pressure — up to 300 times normal atmospheric pressure”.
