The science or process of producing extremely low temperatures and the study of how materials behave at these temperatures.
From Greek 'kryos' (cold) + 'geny' (production or creation). This term emerged in the 19th century as scientists developed techniques to create and maintain extreme cold.
Cryogeny is essentially the practical side of making and using extreme cold—while cryogenics is the broader science, cryogeny focuses on the actual techniques of producing ultra-low temperatures.
