👉 In physics and engineering, a cryostat is a type of cooling device that is used to maintain the temperature of a sample or system in an enclosed environment. It consists of a large volume of liquid (typically water) that is cooled by a heat source such as a furnace or electric heater. The purpose of a cryostat is to prevent the loss of heat energy during the heating and cooling process, which can cause damage to the material being cooled. The term "cryostats" was
