Definition: The branch of physics and engineering that deals with the production and effects of very low temperatures.

Example: Cryogeny is essential for the preservation of biological samples.

Definition: Relating to the practice of preserving individuals at very low temperatures after death, with the hope of future revival.

Example: The scientists are researching cryonic methods to preserve human bodies for potential future resuscitation.

Definition: The method of freezing and preserving a deceased person's body to stop decay, with the hope that future medical advancements may allow for revival.

Example: Many people are considering cryonics as a way to potentially return to life in the future.

Definition: To keep cells or tissues safe by freezing them at very low temperatures.

Example: Scientists use special techniques to cryopreserve stem cells for future research.

Definition: Kept in a very cold state to prevent decay or damage, often used for biological materials like cells or tissues.

Example: The stem cells were cryopreserved to ensure their viability for future research.

Definition: To preserve biological material by cooling it to very low temperatures, which stops all biological activity and prevents decay.

Example: The scientists cryopreserved the stem cells for future research.

Definition: The process of preserving cells, tissues, or any biological constructs by cooling them to very low temperatures to stop all biological activity.

Example: Cryopreserving stem cells can help in future medical treatments.

Definition: To preserve cells, tissues, or other biological samples by cooling them to very low temperatures to stop all biological activity and prevent damage.

Example: Scientists are cryopreserving stem cells for future research.

Definition: A substance that helps to prevent damage to cells or tissues when they are frozen.

Example: Glycerol is a common cryoprotectant used in cell preservation.

Definition: Related to a method of measuring the freezing point of a substance to determine its properties.

Example: The cryoscopic method is often used in chemistry to analyze solutions.

Definition: A method used to find out the molecular weight of a substance by measuring how much the freezing point of a liquid changes when a certain amount of that substance is added.

Example: Cryoscopy is often used in chemistry to analyze the properties of solutions.

Definition: A device that keeps things very cold, often used in scientific experiments to maintain low temperatures.

Example: The researchers used a cryostat to keep the samples at a constant low temperature during the experiment.
