Cryogenics

The leading international journal of low temperature engineering including applied superconductivity, cryoelectronics, and cryophysics.

Cryogenics is the world’s leading journal that serves as a comprehensive repository of information on all aspects of cryoengineering, cryogenic technology, and low & ultra-low-temperature physics, specifically at temperatures below -150°C down to near absolute zero. The aim of the journal is to disseminate knowledge and information on the latest research findings and technological developments in the frontier of cryogenics. Our interdisciplinary focus spans fundamental research to industrial applications, attracting contributions from diverse fields.
