articleOpen accessSenior authorCorrespondingAbstract Cryopreservation of biological matter nigh‐universally requires cooling organic aqueous solutions through the metastable supercooled temperature regime. However, for many solutions of interest, very little thermophysical data exists at these temperatures, hampering the meaningful design of cryopreservation protocols or interrogation of cryopreservation processes. Digital holography interferometry (DHI) has recently emerged as a promising technique for measuring and characterizing the ph…

articleOpen accessCryopreservation by vitrification could transform fields ranging from organ transplantation to wildlife conservation, but critical physical challenges remain in scaling this approach from microscopic to macroscopic systems, including the threat of fracture due to accumulated thermal stresses. Here, we provide experimental and computational evidence that these stresses are strongly dependent on the glass transition temperature [Formula: see text] of the vitrification solution, a property which, g…
