  Encyclopedia: Coldest temperature achieved on earth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Cryogenics is the study of very low temperatures or the production of the same, and is often confused with cryobiology, the study of the effect of low temperatures on organisms, or the study of cryopreservation.
Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of hot and cold; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter.

Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter.
Temperature is an intrinsic property of a system, meaning that it does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
In this scale a temperature difference of 1 degree is the same as a 1 K temperature difference, so the scale is essentially the same as the kelvin scale, but offset by the temperature at which water freezes (273.15 K).

 Coldest temperature achieved on earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth was −89.4 C (−129F) recorded in 1983 at the Russian Base Vostok in Antarctica.
This is still higher than the lowest temperatures achieved in cryogenic labs.
In 1908 he managed to lower the temperature to less than one degree above absolute zero, which is −273.15° degrees (C) below the freezing point of water.

 Refrigeration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Refrigeration (from the Latin frigus, frost) is generally the cooling of a body by the transfer of a portion of its heat away from it.
Where temperatures below that of any available natural cooling agent are required, refrigerators are used to produce the required cooling effect by taking in heat at low temperatures and rejecting it at temperatures somewhat above that of the natural cooling agent, which is generally water or air.
The function of a refrigerating machine, therefore, is to take in heat at a low temperature and reject it at a higher one, using external energy to drive the process.

 Critical Viscosity of Xenon (CVX)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Although the critical temperature and viscosity can differ greatly among fluids, there is a remarkable regularity: within experimental error the relative size of the viscosity increase is the same for all pure fluids.
Near the critical temperature, the xenon will be a billion times more compressible than water, but it will have about the same density as water and its color will change from clear to milky white.
Temperature differences within the xenon are less than 0.2 microkelvin, less than one billionth of T c.

 Temperature changes laser color TRN 121901
At lower temperatures liquid crystal molecules line up like the molecules of a solid, while at higher temperatures they are less ordered, like a liquid.
Depending on the temperature, the wavelength of light can vary from 700 to 560 nanometers, which spans the visible light spectrum from red through yellow to green.
At higher temperatures the light is dim and spans a wider range of colors.

 Critical Fluid Thermal Equilibrium Experiment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Low gravity reduces the weight of the fluid on itself and widens the critical zone for a given temperature.
Because temperature is such a key parameter in critical-point studies, the CPF was designed to provide thermal control of the test fluid with an accuracy of one thousandth of a degree (0.001 degree C).
In order for researchers to plan the timelines for these experiments, it is necessary to determine how quickly their test samples will reach thermal equilibrium after temperature step changes near the critical point.

 Unclassified/Commerical Mind Control Technology
Those low frequency electrical brain rhythms which are characteristics of various moods and states of sleep can not only be read out using biofeedback equipment or EEG machines, but using radio, sound, contact electrodes, or flashing lights, the moods and sleep states can be generated or at least encouraged using brain entrainment devices.
Subliminally, a much more powerful technology was at work: a sophisticated electronic system to 'speak' directly to the mind of the listener, to alter and entrain his brainwaves, to manipulate his brain's electroencephalograph ic (EEG) patterns and artificially implant negative emotional states-feelings of fear, anxiety, despair and hopelessness.
It is software-driven by the "fastest of computers" using a noisenulling technology similar to that used by nuclear submarines for detecting small objects underwater at extreme range.[6] The purpose of all this high technology is to plot and display a moving cluster of periodic brainwave signals.

 Refrigeration Summary
The low temperature and humidity in caves maintained the freshness of seeds and grains while preventing losses from mold, fungus, and insects.
That isentropic expansion cooled the air to a temperature low enough to freeze water and produce ice, or to flow "through a pipe for effecting refrigeration otherwise" as stated in his patent granted by the U.S. Patent Office in 1851.
In oil refineries, chemical manufacturing, and petrochemical plants, refrigeration is used to maintain certain processes at their required low temperatures (for example, in the alkylation of butenes and butane to produce a high octane gasoline component).

 Physics > Superconductivity
Superconductivity is an electromagnetic phenomenon occurring in certain materials at low temperatures, characterized by the complete absence of electrical resistance and the damping of the interior magnetic field (the Meissner effect.)
Most of the physical properties of superconductors vary from material to material, such as the heat capacity and the critical temperature at which superconductivity is destroyed.
Superconductivity was discovered in 1911 by Onnes, who was studying the resistivity of solid mercury at cryogenic temperatures using the recently-discovered liquid helium as a refrigerant.
