Explore: Materials At Low Temperatures

In physics, cryogenics is the production and behaviour of materials at very low temperatures. The 13th International Institute of Refrigeration's (IIR)

physicist Leon Cooper. The Cooper pairing of electrons in certain materials at low temperatures is responsible for the phenomenon of superconductivity. Cooper

perfect diamagnetism) is a phenomenon occurring in certain materials at low temperatures, characterised by the complete absence of magnetic permeability

response temperatures are more difficult to set with accuracy. Some liquid crystals are capable of displaying different colors at different temperatures. This

phenomenon occurs in many materials at low temperatures and high external field, but, unlike superconductivity, materials are known in which the effect
