stasis chamber
Time-freezing capsule device
A stasis chamber is a device in science fiction that suspends biological processes, allowing a person to remain unchanged for extended periods—years, decades, or centuries.
Characters enter stasis chambers for interstellar travel, to await a cure for terminal illness, or to survive until rescue: The crew entered their stasis chambers for the journey to Alpha Centauri.
The concept draws on cryogenics and suspended animation research, though fictional stasis chambers rarely require freezing.
