The use of liquid nitrogen or helium to quickly achieve very low temperatures -250°F (-155°C) is known as cryogenic cooling. At low temperatures, matter has unusual properties, and cryogenic cooling allows for the full use of those properties. (For example, metals lose electrical resistance as they become colder, becoming superconductive.)
Cryogenic cooling is used in many areas of daily life (e.g., food preservation, cryosurgery, medical devices, chemical reactors, rocket fuels) and has significant importance in manufacturing and fabrication. Typical applications are:
