The canary box “is a very logical engineering solution to a problem,” says Alan Mantooth , an IEEE Fellow and a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Arkansas. Scientists have been “ radiation hardening ” electronics—designing them to function in a radioactive environment—since the 1960s.

The Frasch process can be tremendously damaging to the surrounding environment and mineworkers’ health. The minerals that contain sulfur often also tend to contain toxic metals like mercury, arsenic, and thallium.

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. With the ambient environment as a hot reservoir, we can use the coldness from deep space to create the cold reservoir.

Sure, that would be nice, but if you invented an invisibility cloak that required some mercury and neodymium to manufacture would you toss the recipe? That feels universal enough that I’m tempted to call it Holson’s Law of Tolerable API Design. Famously hard. 4 We don’t have any headroom to sacrifice power and effectiveness for ease.
