Research mines to discover minerals and the best ways to get them out.
Think back to the coldest you remember being. Perhaps on a winter’s day, it might have dipped below zero, and it might have seemed chilly enough to freeze your nose off. But if you’re a Cryogenics Physicist, you work with temperatures unimaginably below freezing! Cryogenics Physicists study how materials function under -238 degrees Fahrenheit; the colder you can make it, the better.
Objects do all sorts of odd and interesting things when you subject them to such amazingly harsh temperatures. As a Cryogenics Physicist, you super-cool metals to craft them into superconductors, meaning that electricity can flow through them faster than ordinary wires. The colder temperatures you reach, the cooler the results. Some vacuums you work with can reach numbers close to absolute zero.
While a bunch of mind-bending technology is at your fingertips, if you want to keep those fingers, you have to give the mad- Scientist excitement a break to concentrate on safety. An accident involving cryogenic liquids and gases can cause burns and affect the chemistry of the air, depriving it of oxygen. Never letting yourself be absent minded for a minute, you keep your goggles on and your eyes on your measurements.
There are already a lot of fascinating functions to cryogenics, from advanced refrigerators to liquid spaceship fuel, though your job is to think towards the future and outside the box. You may have to get creative, but you have the ability to discover new ways that matter reacts to low temperatures. After you’ve spent some time working in your cryogenics lab, dry ice will never seem quite as cool again.
