...technique of approach is a complicated cycle of cooling, compression, magnetization, demagnetization. Liquid air cools compressed hydrogen until it liquefies, the liquid hydrogen cools com- pressed helium until it too liquefies. The last stage depends on the fact that magnetization heats matter, demagnetization chills it. The substance is powerfully magnetized and the heat generated drawn off; then a step farther down the scale of cold is obtained by demagnetization, and the cycle is repeated. The temperature is read by a system, of delicate balances, using the principle (discovered in the Curie laboratories of Paris) that the magnetic force...
