Cryology

Cryology is the branch of science that deals with the study of the behavior of materials at very low temperatures. It encompasses the investigation of cryogenic processes and phenomena, which often occur at temperatures below -150 degrees Celsius (-238 degrees Fahrenheit). Cryology plays a crucial role in various applications, including the preservation of biological specimens, the analysis of materials in their solid or liquid states at low temperatures, and the development of technologies such as superconductors and liquefied gases. The field also includes the study of the effects of low temperatures on chemical reactions and physical properties of different substances, leading to advancements in various scientific and industrial domains.
