cryogenic freezing
Extreme cold storage
Cryogenic freezing is the process of cooling something to extremely low temperatures using liquefied gases like nitrogen or helium.
The technique preserves biological materials—sperm, eggs, tissue samples—by halting cellular activity.
In science fiction and speculative medicine, cryogenic freezing appears as a way to suspend human life for later revival: The billionaire paid to have his body cryogenically frozen.
