NASA Goddard Hosts Young Women for STEM Girls Night In
Late on a Friday night, 40 high school girls arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt MD for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
Dr. Roger W. Boom 1923-2018
It is with great regret that we report the death of Dr. Roger W. Boom, emeritus professor from the University of Wisconsin and mentor and inspiration to a great many leaders in the fields of cryogenic engineering and superconductivity.
Cryogenics in Medicine and Biology
The field of cryogenics has been connected with medical applications since its inception, and what follows is a historical review of some of the major applications within medicine where the term cryogenic is used in a specific manner.
DH Industries Contributes To Successful Launch of LNG Barge
The successful completion and delivery of Clean Jacksonville was announced in August, including information on the involvement of CSA member DH Industries BV.
Towards Cryogen-Free SRF Particle Accelerators
Particle accelerators have been essential tools of particle physics since initial development in the early twentieth century, with commercial applications soon following each successive advancement.

Transfer Lines
Transfer lines may in some real sense be thought of as the cryogenic fluid analogy of current leads. While current leads carry electrical power to where it’s required in a cryogenic system, transfer lines do the same with cryogenic fluids. Transfer lines range in complexity from very simple U-tubes containing...
Zero Boiloff
Zero Boil Off cryostats are those that contain liquid cryogens but are designed to eliminate or vastly reduce the boil off of the liquid. These cryostats combine some of the advantages of Cryogen-Free systems (e.g. ease of use and long operational lifetime) with the advantages associated with a reservoir of liquid...
Cryomodule
Cryomodule is a term that is most commonly used to refer to cryostats that contain superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Such cavities are used to accelerate charged particle beams and are a major component of modern particle accelerators. Using the term cryomodule to refer to cryostats containing SRF cavities appears...
Air Separation and Liquefaction

You are encouraged to read Cryo Central’s History...
Bose-Einstein Condensate
A Bose-Einstein condensate, first proposed in 1925 by Albert Einstein based on work done by Satyendra Nath Bose (the same Bose from whom the term boson is derived), is a super-cold state of matter in which almost all of the individual atoms have “condensed” down to the lowest possible quantum...
Cold Technology for Pest Control
While it does not reach temperatures cold enough to be called cryogenic, carbon dioxide snow is at the heart of a new way of dealing with unwanted pests. It utilizes a quick freezing process that takes advantage of the properties of carbon dioxide snow and has a number of benefits...
Cryogenic Finishing
The following 3 articles discuss the uses and procedures of various type of cryogenic finishing. 1) By Robin A. Rhodes, Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. rrhodes@nitrofreeze.com Cryogenic Deflashing is employed to remove undesired residual mold flash that remains on molded parts after they are removed or ejected from the...
What is the temperature range of cryogenics?
Could you please tell me what is the temperature range of cryogenics? In other words, is -100°F considered cryogenic, or does it start lower? Could I expect to see some extended life in D2 stamping dies? What would the recipe be to achieve the desired results using cryogenics?
Any suggestions for a company producing "secured" heat exchangers?
I am looking for a company producing “secured” heat exchangers to work at a minimum temperature of -45 C on a cooling system for electronics.
Cryogenic properties of Gallium and Tin?
Any suggestions where to find cryogenic properties of non-lead solder materials like Gallium and Tin?
