Cryogenic Lab

Chill out, get in touch with your inner mad scientist, and discover the cure to what ails you. Cryogenics is the study of very low temperatures (below –238 °F, –150 °C) and the behavior of materials at those temperatures. The field of cryogenics advanced during World War II when scientists found that metals frozen to low temperatures showed more resistance to wear. Researchers experimented with the possibility of increasing the life of metal tools to anywhere between 200%-400% of the original life expectancy, but the results were unstable, as components sometimes experienced thermal shock when they were cooled too fast and some components even shattered.
