The only option would be helium. marcosdumay|3 months ago Just to point, but it would require actively cooled helium. You can't just drop it in liquid helium and expect boiling to cool your device. Pet_Ant|3 months ago Can you make a closed loop helium cooler? Also, that level of coldness seems like it would have negative interactions with other components. load replies (1) AnimalMuppet|3 months ago Nitrogen freezes at 63K. That makes it a bad coolant for a continuously-running process at 3.5K.
