No matter what we decide, I won't let you back in that tube.

I want to get cryogenically frozen. Not to live forever, but because I like the idea of some lab tech having to refill my liquid nitrogen tank for the next century. Serving my corpse like some kind of modern Egyptian Pharoah.

Cryogenic cooling material composed solely of abundant elements reaches 4K

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) succeeded in developing a new regenerator material composed solely of abundant elements, such as copper, iron, and aluminum, that can achieve cryogenic temperatures (approx. 4K = −269°C or below) without using any rare-earth metals or liquid helium. By utilizing a special property called "frustration" found in some magnetic materials, where the spins cannot simultaneously satisfy each other's orientations in a triangular lattice, the team demonstrated a novel method that replaces the conventional rare-earth-dependent cryogenic cooling technology. The developed material holds promise for responding to the lack of liquid helium as well as for stable cooling in medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and quantum computers, which are expected to see further growth in demand. The results are published in Scientific Reports.

Yup, right here in Scottsdale, AZ.

In 1967, Dr. James Bedford, a 73-year-old psychology professor born in 1893, became the first person to undergo cryopreservation with the hope of future revival.

After succumbing to cancer on January 12, his body was treated with chemicals to minimize ice damage, packed in dry ice, and ultimately stored in liquid nitrogen. This landmark procedure marked the first human trial in cryonics—a field dedicated to preserving the body until advances in medical science might allow for restoration of life.

Although the preservation was primitive by today’s standards, Bedford’s body has remained frozen for more than five decades. It is currently held at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona.

A 1991 inspection confirmed that his body remained solidly frozen, though revival is not yet scientifically possible. Bedford’s case stands as a milestone in the history of cryonics.
