It is a subject with all kinds of scientific, technological as well as cultural dimensions. For example, the common home refrigerator has brought about unimaginably deep changes to our everyday lives changing drastically eating habits and shopping mentalities. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st, issues related to the production and exploitation of artificial cold have never stopped to provide us with an incredibly interesting set of phenomena, novel theoretical explanations, amazing possibilities concerning technological applications and all encompassing cultural repercussions. The discovery of the unexpected and ?bizarre? phenomena of superconductivity and superfluidity, the necessity to incorporate macroscopic quantum phenomena to the framework of quantum mechanics, the discovery of Bose-Einstein condensation and high temperature superconductivity, the use of superconducting magnets for high energy particle accelerators, the construction of new computer hardware, the extensive applications of cryomedicine, and the multi billion industry of frozen foods, are some of the more dramatic instances in the history of artificial cold. 410 0$aBoston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science,$x0068-0346 ;$v299 606 $aHistory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 676 $a509 702 $aGavroglu$b Kostas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482989503321 996 $aHistory of Artificial Cold, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Issues$92848489 997 $aUNINA
