In electronics, cryoelectronics or cryolectronics is the study of superconductivity under cryogenic conditions and its applications.
[2] Practical applications of this field is quite broad, although it is particularly useful in areas where cryogenic environment exists such as superconducting technologies and spacecraft design.
[2] It also became a special branch of cryophysics and cryotechnics and plays a role in operations that require high resolution and precision measurements.
[4] They serve as the backbone of applications that range from materials evaluation, geological and environmental prospecting, and medical diagnostics, among others.
Devices that make use of cryoelectronics and the applications of superconductivity such as computers, information transmission lines, and magnetocardiography have potential for commercial value outside of a few specific devices for singular purposes.
