A Glimpse At Cryogenics: The Science Of Very Low Temperatures (Part 2)

It took nearly twenty years for the Dutch physicist Kamerlingh Onnes to convert helium, the last of the so-called “permanent” gases, to liquid form in 1908. And now the door has been opened to a bizarre new realm of research known as cryogenics. This strange process will be further discussed below. Cryogenics – The Process […]

A Glimpse At Cryogenics: The Science Of Very Low Temperatures

Cryogenics, a word derived from the Greek word kryos (meaning “icy cold”), is the science of very low temperatures. It had its birth in the latter half of the nineteenth century when, for the first time, man learned how to cool things to a temperature lower than has ever existed naturally on the face of the earth.
