    Flash freezing being used for cryopreservation. Flash freezing is used in the food industry to quickly freeze perishable food items (see frozen food).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

    The sheet does not block the cold, but instead reflects heat to the face and radiates the heat of the face that it just absorbed. The same radiative cooling mechanism can cause frost or black ice to form on surfaces exposed to the clear night sky, even when the ambient temperature does not fall below freezing.
