Cryogenic engineering

Cryogenic engineering involves designing and managing systems that produce, handle, and utilize extremely cold temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F). This field is essential for applications such as liquefying gases like oxygen and nitrogen, medical technologies, space exploration, and particle physics. It requires specialized materials and safety measures to prevent hazards like frostbite or material failure due to extreme cold. Cryogenic engineers develop technologies to maintain and control these low temperatures efficiently, enabling scientific research and industrial processes that depend on the unique properties of materials at cryogenic conditions.
