cryonic
Preserved by cold
Cryonic relates to the practice of preserving human bodies or heads at extremely low temperatures after death, with the speculative hope of future revival.
The field is called cryonics: cryonic suspension, cryonic preservation.
Distinct from cryogenic, which refers broadly to very low temperatures and their effects.
