Cryonics is the use of low temperatures to preserve humans or animals for resuscitation in the future. Cryopreservation is most popular amongst wealthy people with currently incurable conditions.  The technology to reverse the cryopreservation process is not yet available.

Cryogenics is the study of very low temperatures and the how they affect materials.

A quote from eighteenth century poet Alexander Pope's An Essay on Man.

Studies have shown that the proteins secreted by mussels could be used to create a natural superglue. Bioadhesives, natural substances with adhesive properties such as starch or gelatin, are of particular interest because of their biocompatibility.  They can be used on human tissue without deleterious side effects, and could have applications ranging from medical procedures to attaching false eyelashes.

Mussel adhesives, having evolved in water, are also being tested for use in marine applications such as waterproofing ships.
