Scientists Have Made a Huge Breakthrough In Cryogenics

“Researchers at the University of Minnesota recently developed a new technique in cryopreservation — the process of freezing organs and tissues at very low temperatures — that could significantly reduce organ transplantation’s logistical challenges. Cryopreservation is typically only successful among small samples, like sperm or embryos; however, scientists were able to cryopreserve human and pig organ samples, and then rewarm them successfully without damaging the tissue. The new technique involved mixing silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles in a solution and then generating heat from applying an external magnetic field…”
