cryogenic processes
Ultra-low temperature methods
Cryogenic processes are industrial or scientific procedures conducted at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F).
These include liquefying gases like nitrogen and oxygen, preserving biological materials, and achieving superconductivity.
Cryogenic processes are essential for storing rocket fuel.
The field spans medicine, food preservation, and physics research.
