Isometry group Updated +Created
The group of all transformations that preserve some bilinear form, notable examples:
Liquid helium Updated +Created
4 K. Enough for to make "low temperature superconductors" like regular metals superconducting, e.g. the superconducting temperature of aluminum if 1.2 K.
Contrast with liquid nitrogen, which is much cheaper but only goes to 77K.
