cryogenic links of the week - Deep freezer for humans

A Deep Freezer for Humans: Australia's First Cryonics Storage Center 3/8/2016

“The central thrust of cryonics is that medical progress and medical technology will continue to improve, barring some global disaster and the capabilities of future technology are difficult to put an upper limit on,” Mr Fisher said. “There were people saying heavier than air flight was impossible after the Wright brothers had flown. I find that anyone who says something is impossible is proven wrong in the long run.” read more via The Border Mail

cryogenic links of the week - 100 million degree hydrogen

Hydrogen at 100 Million Degrees Explains Nuclear Fusion 3/9/2016

Despite periodic breakthroughs, physicists have struggled to replicate the reaction in the lab. New research suggests scientists may have cleared another hurdle en route to synthesizing nuclear fusion. The key, researchers say, is super hot fluid. read more via United Press International

cryogenic links of the week - Liquid nitrogen ice cream cocktails

Ice Cream Cocktails Frozen on the Spot with Liquid Nitrogen 3/9/2016

At < > (read out loud as “Less Than Greater Than”), a hidden cocktail bar in Hudson from the team behind New City Micro-creamery and the Rail Trail Flatbread Co., some of the most exciting potions are neither shaken nor stirred. Instead they are frozen with liquid nitrogen, creating a bit of drama and a lot of smoke. read more via Boston Globe

cryogenic links of the week - liquid nitrogen gastronomy

Liquid Nitrogen is Better Than Milk For Dunking Cookies 3/9/2016

Four friends found videos of liquid nitrogen gastronomy on the internet and couldn‘t rest until they brought super-cooled treats to Malaysia. Frostbite, located in Subang Jaya, Selangor, offers two different cookie platters with plans to expand. They say the extreme cold of the LN₂ is no more dangerous than a typical restaurant meal: “Dining with liquid nitrogen is as basic as dining at your favourite steamboat restaurants. You generally do not dip your fingers into or ingest the boiling hot soup. So do treat our liquid nitrogen as you would treat hot oil,” says co-founder Brian Lee. read more and see the video via Star2
