cryogenic
Near absolute zero
Cryogenic describes extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F), or the technology and processes involving such cold.
Cryogenic liquids include liquid nitrogen and liquid helium, used in medicine, food preservation, and rocket propulsion: cryogenic fuel, cryogenic storage.
In science fiction, cryogenic preservation suspends humans for future revival.
