In physics, cryogenics is the study of the production of very low temperature (below −150 °C, −238 °F or 123 K) and the behavior of materials at those temperatures. Rather than the familiar temperature scales of Fahrenheit and Celsius, cryogenicists use the Kelvin (and formerly Rankine) scales. A person who studies elements under extremely cold temperature is called a cryogenicist. Definitions and distinctions The terms cryogenics, cryobiology cryonics are frequently con… (More on Cryogenics) |
