Cryogenics, or the freezing of biological material, has many purposes. Researchers periodically freeze the cell cultures they are working with in order to have a "backup" in case something happens to the rest of their cells, such as contamination. Clinically, cryogenics is used to preserve sperm or egg cells for fertility treatment. Cord blood collected at the time of birth can also be preserved so that if the infant later develops serious disease or injury, future stem cell treatments can use these cells. There are many more examples. Essentially though, cryogenics is useful in any situation where the preservation of living cells for many years is required.

When were cryogenics invented?

Cryogenics as a field emerged in the mid-20th century, but the principles underlying it date back to the late 19th century. The first successful liquefaction of gases, a key development for cryogenics, occurred in 1877 when hydrogen was liquefied by James Dewar. The term "cryogenics" itself was coined in the 1940s, as scientists began to explore the effects of extremely low temperatures on materials and biological systems.
