More than Records. The cryogenic temperature range begins at a chilly- 150° F. and plummets to -459.7° F., or absolute zero, the point at which all thermal motion of the atom ceases. To attain these temperatures, scientists use expansion engines that compress gases, cool them and allow them to expand again, then repeat the cycle until they liquefy and eventually solidify. As the gases approach absolute zero, a sophisticated magnetization process extracts their remaining reservoir of heat. Because there will always be slight thermal motion of the atomic particles, scientists will never actually achieve absolute zero. But last...
