Matula and McKnight think that the green algae growing in the McMurdo Dry Valley mats might be the algae that space explorers are looking for. These green algae are well-adapted to large temperature fluctuations similar to those found in spacecraft plumbing, swinging from 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees Fahrenheit) to 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit) in a single summer day, McKnight said.
According to McKnight, her team is still working to determine how the algal communities vary between the different streams and how they compare to the algae communities that developed in their laboratory cultures. McKnight did share one clear, preliminary finding: Their cultures were dominated by a narrow group of algae that have been observed in other Antarctic environments before. Growing Antarctic algal species in the lab is a starting point for the research team to better understand how Antarctic algae tolerate oscillating temperatures on daily and seasonal cycles.

The Evelyn Gruss Lipper Cryo-Electron Microscopy Resource Center (RRID:SCR_021146) makes sophisticated new cryo-electron microscopy tools available to University researchers, allowing for the visualization of three-dimensional structures of molecules and macromolecular complexes in solution.
Current organ, tissue and cell preservation related protocol, solutions and equipment were developed more than 50 years ago with only incremental innovations to date. This has led to poor clinical outcomes for patients, thus creating a huge burden on the system and high unmet medical need. CryoStasis is on a mission to allow doctors, researchers and companies in the health care and research industry to enhance existing practices, protocols and products and develop new treatments which broadly and significantly improve patient outcomes.
CryoStasis will use the financing proceeds to advance its suite of solutions through completing large organ preservation animal studies and the preservation of various cell types for clinical cell therapy applications.
The basis of cryonics or medical cryopreservation is to safely store a legally dead subject until a time in the future when technology and medicine will permit reanimation after eliminating the disease or cause of death. Death has been debunked as an event occurring after cardiac arrest to a process where interjecting its progression can allow for reversal when feasible. Cryonics technology artificially halts further damages and injury by restoring respiration and blood circulation, and rapidly reducing temperature. The body can then be preserved at this extremely low temperature until the need for reanimation. Presently, the area has attracted numerous scientific contributions and advancement but the practice is still flooded with challenges. This paper presents the current progression in cryonics research. We also discuss obstacles to success in the field, and identify the possible solutions and future research directions.

Additionally, the Molecular Electron Microscopy Suite (MEMS) at Harvard Medical School is a separate user resource currently available to qualified researchers. This user facility offers training and supervision in negative-stain and cryo-transmission electron microscopy. Equipment includes three transmission electron microscopes, two cryo plungers, and sample preparation areas.
Professionals who deal with cryogenics learn their trade in a variety of academic and hands-on ways, coming from the fields of mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering, various specialized physics areas, materials science and a combination of these and other backgrounds. Whatever the academic background, there is always a basic need for hands-on experience in the lab or in industry.
The CSA Cryogenic Jobs Center is your clearinghouse for cryogenic jobs, whether you are an employer looking for an employee, or an individual seeking employment. Find Help Wanted ads from employers in cryogenic fields in government, academic or research institutions, national laboratories, and related businesses. You will also find resumes from prospective employees with a variety of cryogenic-related talents.
CSA regularly surveys our membership to compile this comprehensive list of educational resources for students interested in entering the fields of cryogenics and superconductivity, as well as professionals who wish to expand their knowledge by taking advanced courses and other specialized training. The list is divided into four parts:
Prior to the 1970s, Project Shadow was enacted in the research facility and concluded with the final product held in cryostasis. Fifty years later, said product named Shadow the Hedgehog would have his capsule opened at the same time the Guardian Units of Nations would find files of coordinates towards the base.[1]
With escalating climate phenomena ravaging environments around the globe, Overwatch established a series of ecopoints at remote, critical locations worldwide. Their mission was to study ecological challenges and provide solutions for stabilizing or reversing its most pressing issues.
Mei-Ling Zhou was a member of this multiyear initiative. A peerless climatologist, she had introduced cutting-edge innovations in the field of climate manipulation that protected at-risk areas in Asia and beyond. She was assigned to the program's monitoring station at Ecopoint: Antarctica when disaster struck: a sudden, catastrophic polar storm battered the installation and cut it off from the outside world, leaving the facility damaged and the scientists stranded. As their supplies dwindled, they entered cryostasis to survive until supply lines could be re-established or a rescue attempt could be made.
Mei put her personal mission on hold to support the re-formed Overwatch team in halting the devastating attack by Null Sector on the city of Paris. With her incredible technology and her sharp mind, Mei strives to build a future that protects both the planet and the people who call it home.
The increase would threaten whales, penguins and hundreds of other species that inhabit the Southern Ocean, according to new research by INSTAARs Cara Nissen, Nikki Lovenduski, Cassandra Brooks, and Alfred Wegener Institut co-authors.
INSTAAR acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. Full CU Boulder land acknowledgment

The largest district in Kazakh City, the Research Facility is a massive complex created by Grandmaster Meio and the heart of his army's scientific might[1]. While most of the facility was created to carry out Meio's genetic research in order to create his "new race", it is also responsible for developing mechanical weapons and troopers for Meio's Army[2]. The whole complex is overseen by Professor Schlange, who has merged himself with it through several cybernetic implants, and managed by a large number of researchers. The lab was also probably where the Gravitron was developed, and is where one of the two finalized models is found.
As the facility possess several key locations of high importance, it is not only protected by the strongest model of Troopers, but also by a formidable security system and several traps laid out all over its interior, making even a single mistake fatal[1]. These traps include electric panels in floors and ceilings, complex laser projections and, most importantly, a large moving laser wall that bisects any intruder in its path.[1]
The Research Facility carries out two primary objectives. The first half of the complex is a production plant dedicated to the assembly and testing of the many variants of Light and Heavy Trooper units deployed across Kazakh City. The second area focuses in Grandmaster Meio's true goal: the creation of a "perfect" human race throughout extensive genetic research[2]. The resulting human specimen are then cloned and stored in cryostasis tubes, which can be seen being organized all across the walls of the large cloning chamber and the cryopreservation chamber.
In addition to the two above, the Research Facility has also began to develop biological weapons independently, having started with the creation of the large armored dragon Ouroboros Mk.III[2]. These weapons, however, turned all into complete failures as there was no effective way to control them[2], with the project being put on an indefinite hold as a result[3]. Schlange has also carried out other personal and more successful projects such as the "ZAIN Project v2", whose aim is to create the perfect warrior, and the fully-autonomous mechanical gorilla Mecha Pon.
