This 6:30 video explains the everyday applications of cryogenics—lowering the temperature of objects and materials far below freezing—from magnetic scans to high-tech space telescopes like the new James Webb. Students learn about absolute zero and the Kelvin temperature scale, and they learn how lowering the temperatures of gases affects their properties.
