Liquid Nitrogen
Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature, around -196°C (-320°F). It is produced by cooling nitrogen gas below its boiling point through cryogenic distillation. Due to its extremely cold temperature, liquid nitrogen is used in a wide range of applications: LN2 is frequently used to preserve biological samples such as cells, tissues, and reproductive material, as well as to perform cryosurgery for removing warts and certain cancers.
