The world's first baby born from a frozen embryo arrived in 1984.
Most recent documented case: embryo stored 27 years. Healthy birth.
At -196°C, biological time stops completely. No ageing. No degradation. No DNA damage.
Here is what the science, UK regulation, and cryogenic engineering actually say about long-term embryo storage.

Researchers at Aalto University have successfully built the world's first cyclic quantum heat engine inside a superconducting circuit, operating near absolute zero. The microscopic device harnesses the minuscule amount of heat present in ultracold quantum conditions to cyclically output positive work.

Why does liquid hydrogen slowly disappear during storage?
Residual ortho-hydrogen releases heat as it converts to the more stable para form.
New catalysts accelerate this transition beforehand, helping limit costly boil-off losses.

Während wir hier in Bonn schwitzen ☀️, arbeiten unsere Empfänger an Radioteleskopen unter nahezu „kosmischen Bedingungen“: Sie sind dem absoluten Nullpunkt sehr nahe ❄️.
Damit wir „hören” können, was das Universum uns sendet 📡, werden zentrale Teile der Empfänger auf etwa -260 °C gekühlt 🧊. Diese kryogenen Systeme gehören zu den Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) und Receiver-Komponenten der Electronics Division am MPIfR.
Ihre Aufgabe ist es, kosmische Radiosignale zu verstärken, ohne dass diese im eigenen elektronischen Rauschen untergehen 📉. Das Ergebnis sind Empfänger, die so empfindlich sind, dass selbst die schwächsten Signale aus dem All messbar werden 🌌.
Zum Vergleich: Ein Smartphone würde auf dem Mond im Radiobereich ein deutlich messbares Signal erzeugen 📱🌕 – und wäre damit im Vergleich zu vielen astrophysikalischen Quellen sehr stark.

I'm putting this under #SciFiScience.
We've been freezing gametes for a while, but embryos are more difficult (mostly damage during defrosting). Ultrafast cooling might be a solution. If scalable, might be possible to use to preserve species or transport specimens to other planets. -

I am excited to be spending my day working on the cryogenic still in the underground lab @SNOLAB today!
-
The research was carried out by Santosh Mutum, Patrick Vliex, Jonas Bühler, Dennis Nielinger, Mario Schlösser, and Stefan van Waasen - all from our institute ICA at @fzj
Thank you to everyone who joined the session and contributed to the discussions. It was a great opportunity to share our progress and connect with the broader quantum technologies community. 2/2

Check out our latest research on cryogenic electronics for Quantum Computing!
We explore the design & testing of voltage references & regulators in extreme temperatures (6 K - 300 K), evaluating the performance of 22 nm FDSOI MOS technology.
Our findings highlight how cryogenic effects, like threshold voltage saturation and increased transconductance, can enhance analog circuit design, while low-frequency noise remains a challenge. #QuantumComputing #Cryogenics

Cost of party balloons about to sky-rocket?Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly patients to the Moon and back to be medically scanned there than bring the 3He down here? LOL
Surely this insanely speculative BS is up for an #IgNobel prize?!

The #Korean Society of #Superconductivity and #Cryogenics declared #LK-99 room-temperature #superconductor 'groundless' after 8 labs failed to replicate results. No evidence of zero resistance or the #Meissner effect has been found, challenging researchers' claims.
