Then in 1986, J Gregore Bednorz and K. Alex Muller discovered that an oxide of lanthanum, barium, and copper becomes superconductive at 30 K. This discovery shocked the world and stimulated ... development of the cryogenic scalpel which can deaden or destroy tissue with a high degree of accuracy, making it possible to clot cuts as soon as you cut them. So in theory you could one day have surgery without having to deal with any blood. Another field is Cryopumping. Cryopumping is the process "of condensing gas or vapor on a low-temperature surface."(Vance 339) This is done by extracting ...
