- More about Going for Cold: A Biography of a Great Physicist, Kurt Mendelssohn
Kurt Mendelssohn was a pioneering figure in cryogenics who established the first helium liquefier in the UK, did fundamental research on superconductivity and superfluid helium, and saw the potential for cryogenics in industry. He published two monographs that remain classics in the field and forged global collaborations.

Kurt Mendelssohn, a renowned figure in the field of cryogenics, left an indelible mark on the scientific community with his groundbreaking contributions. Born in Berlin, Mendelssohn's journey took him to Oxford in the 1930s, where he continued to push the boundaries of low temperature and solid state physics. His pioneering work in helium liquefaction and superconductivity laid the foundation for understanding these complex phenomena.
Beyond his scientific achievements, Mendelssohn had a visionary outlook that saw the potential for cryogenics to revolutionize industries. He embarked on international collaborations, visiting China, Japan, and India to forge global partnerships. He also founded the prestigious scientific journal in the field, Cryogenics, and established a conference series that continues to this day.
In addition to his scientific contributions, Mendelssohn authored two monographs that remain as classics in the field. His work not only advanced our understanding of cryogenics but also sparked new ideas and innovations.
This book delves into the personal and professional life of Kurt Mendelssohn, shedding light on his relationships with other key figures in the cryogenics field, such as Nicholas Kurti at Oxford. It also explores his work outside of cryogenics, including his novel ideas on the engineering of the pyramids. Through his unwavering dedication and innovative thinking, Mendelssohn paved the way for future generations of scientists to explore the wonders of low temperature and solid state physics.
